The first year of the program a committee is formed that gathers data in the schools and community on what arts education exists there, including its resources and challenges. Then a five-year plan is written.
In the second year, implementation of the plan begins, including a residency with a teaching artist who works with students and teachers in a specific art area.
The result is a performance or art show for the community, highlighting what was learned during the residency.
