Jasper, IN – [October 22] Jasper Community Arts is proud to announce that it has been awarded a $14,000 grant from the Dubois County Community Foundation through The Fund for Dubois County to support its in-school artist residency program. This funding will bring professional artists into schools throughout Dubois County, enriching the overall educational experience by integrating the arts into everyday learning.
The in-school artist residency program emphasizes the role of the arts in education, blending creative expression with traditional subjects. Students will have the opportunity to engage with a variety of artists from different disciplines, learning new perspectives, critical thinking skills, and problem-solving approaches that extend beyond the classroom. The program highlights the importance of the arts in fostering well-rounded, innovative thinkers.
“We are deeply grateful to the Dubois County Community Foundation for supporting this initiative,” said Kyle Rupert, Executive Director of Jasper Community Arts. “These artist residencies are about more than just arts education—they offer students a chance to experience the arts in ways that deepen their engagement with all aspects of learning. The program will have a lasting impact on their development as individuals and creative thinkers.”
The artist residency program is one of many initiatives Jasper Community Arts plans to offer in the coming months to enhance the educational environment and engage the community in the arts. From performances and exhibitions to workshops and special events, Jasper Community Arts is dedicated to making the arts a vibrant and accessible part of life in Dubois County.
