Instructions for Catalog Use:
Each participating school is entitled to five artist selections during the school year. (Click on Participating Schools to find out it your school is a participating school) Decisions may be made by the principal, the faculty, or an individual teacher who has been designated to choose the artists for your school. You should always designate an ARTSBRIDGE representative in your school who will make contact with artists and keep records, maintaining continuity and following all steps correctly.

1. Contact the artists you would like to have visit your school. Provide artist with name of classroom teacher with whom he/she can discuss curriculum connections. Request STUDY GUIDE from artist.

2. Using the Catalog Form as a guide, confirm dates, times, etc. with the artist. Be very clear about how many selections will be used. An artist SELECTION is an agreed upon unit of instruction offered by the artist. ARTSBRIDGE pays artists by the selection, so you must clarify with your artist how many selections will be necessary. If an artist performs for the entire school or multiple grades in one time period, two "selections/units" are required.

REMEMBER, your school has five (5) selections to use. Any additional selections must be paid for by your school. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS POLICY. To discuss obtaining additional artist selections, please call ARTSBRIDGE. It will be the responsibility of the participating school to keep records of how many selections are used, and all five artist selections must be used in this school year. Selections cannot be carried over.

3. After an artist has given his/her presentation, complete school portion of the Catalog Form. Artist will fill in appropriate part and send to us. Click here for Catalog form Artist will return copy to Artsbridge for payment.
