Join us for the 2008-09 program!
Ten Chicago Public Schools will be selected to participate in the 2008-09 program. Teachers apply for this program in teams of two from the same school. Educators who specialize in subjects other than art are welcome to participate. However, if you are not an art teacher, we do ask that the teacher you partner with is. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, however, we recommend a deadline of June 1, 2008.
Please send all applications and inquiries via e-mail to Amanda Curtis, Program Director of Education, 312-243-9088.

Teacher Experience
"Teaching in relative isolation, with few supplies and getting by, by hook or by crook, is very common in a low-income neighborhood high school. That was pretty much how teaching art at Wells Community Academy was before we became part of the Intuit Fellowship Program.
The program owes a great deal of its success to how accommodating, gracious and invested the staff are with teachers. The fellowship rejuvenated my love of art and passion for teaching through viewing art collections, collaborating with other teachers, and meeting and making art along side of artists..."
