Teaching Artist Roster Program

The Teaching Artist Roster Program is a collaborative effort between the Central Minnesota Arts Board, Perpich Center for Arts Education, and Paramount Visual Arts Center to train artists within the four counties of Benton, Sherburne, Stearns, and Wright, by providing them with the skills to conduct artist residencies based on specific curriculum and/or programming goals.

DOWNLOAD BROCHURE

Rostered artists successfully completed training over a six-month period in preparation for working in a residency program. They are strong individual artists who are able to support educators by making connections between their art form and the Minnesota State standards in the arts. Many of these teaching artists are also skilled at integrating the arts with concepts in other subject areas, professional development for educators, or working with specific student populations.

Once you have selected an artist, contact them to discuss options for your residency. Based on your discussion, the artist will submit a residency plan to the CMAB for funding up to $1,500 with a maximum of $300 in reimbursement for the cost of supplies.

FIND A TEACHING ARTIST

	JILL DUBBELDEE KUHN Visual - Mural, illustration & book making arts	I am a living sponge for color and creativity. My job as a teaching artist is to spread the love of hands-on discovery through my own art and passion for books, learning and the next generation.
	LEE ANN GOERSS Visual Arts, Writing	I hope to encourage children and adults to more freely explore art. You may not be an artist, but you have something to express to the world…
	MARIENNE KREITLOW Music and Performing Arts	I find joy in creating a safe, stimulating environment where students can develop their writing and performing skills as each discovers their own unique and potent voice.
	Jeremy Schreifels Music Composition and Visual Arts Integration	I believe the creation of, performance of, or listening to music creates a physical and emotional response which everyone is able to translate into a visual image or written word.
	WILLICEY TYNES Visual Arts	I seek to leave an indelible experience on hearts and minds of all students while elevating their understanding and appreciation of the arts. I bring the ability to truly assess the need of not just the classroom as a whole but also of each student individually.
