Arts Liaisons in Action Real-world examples of what you do (or want to do)
Arts Liaisons in Action • An Arts Liaison: • serves as the primary point of communication between their school, the Department of Arts Education, Ingenuity, and arts partners. • works to ensure that students, educators, and administrators in their school have access to important arts-related information across all disciplines. • seeks actionable ways to expand and improve arts education and programming in their school and in the broader community.
Arts Liaisons in Action Examples: • In small groups, come up with real-life examples of each of the main facets of the Arts Liaison role. • Record your examples on chart paper.
Arts Liaisons in Action • Gallery Walk: Look at everyone’s posters. • Debrief: • What was exciting or interesting to you? • What seems like a challenge? • Did this give you any ideas for things you could do as an Arts Liaison?
