Aims of the Scheme
The Clare Arts Office Artists in Schools Programme is designed to create opportunities for artists and schools to work together over a specific duration of time. We favour projects that are innovative, unique and that foster creativity, skills development and an introduction to the language used in art making. We also encourage projects that allow children to experience the cross disciplinary nature of the arts as well as projects which connect ideas and art making to other subjects e.g. history, science, the environment, local, national and global cultures and traditions.

Projects can be collaborative and involve other creative practitioners and organisations but must be developed with the input of both the artist and the school.

Assessment Criteria
Projects will be assessed according to the following criteria

• Quality and innovation of the concept/idea for the proposal. (30)
• Quality of the artists work and track record as demonstrated by the support documentation submitted with the application, including the Artists CV. (30)
• Feasibility of the proposed project, budget, time frame, number of students etc. (30)
• Potential for the project to leave a creative impact on the school. (10)
