If you’re an author, signing on with Young Audiences, Inc, is a way to obtain opportunities to present school workshops in K-12 classrooms. If you’re an educator, Young Audiences can provide you with authors and other artists’ programs to supplement your classroom instruction. There are Young Audiences chapters in cities around the country. Here’s info from the national Website:
“Young Audiences, Inc. (YAI) is the nation’s leading source of arts-in-education services. YAI’s mission and goal is to help make the arts an essential part of young people’s education.
Young Audiences advances the artistic and educational development of public school students by bringing young people together with professional artists of all disciplines to learn, create and participate in the arts. This year, Young Audiences’ network of 33 chapters and affiliates and 5,200 artists reached 7.5 million children in nearly 8,000 schools with more than 22,000 performance demonstrations, 64,000 workshops and 4,000 teacher services.”
Here’s information about the workshop I have on file with Young Audiences of Northeast Ohio but I’m updating it for the 2008-2009 school year:
