Fairbanks Arts Association is at the front line of arts education in Fairbanks. Our Arts in Education program is a multifaceted effort that operates several programs aimed at increasing student access to the arts and is guided through the FACE (Fairbanks Arts and Cultural Education) committee. The FACE Committee is comprised of Fairbanks Arts staff, teachers and principals from Fairbanks North Star Borough School District (FNSBSD), artists, parents, community members and partner organizations.
Artists in Schools Program
Fairbanks Arts matches artists to schools for several weeks of artistic residency in the Artists in Schools (AIS) program within the FNSBSD; thirty weeks of residency are offered throughout the academic year. AIS residencies are active studies that span traditional and contemporary art forms including music, dance, traditional Alaska Native art, media and digital arts, visual arts, literary art, and drama.
School Performances
Our School Performances program is offered in collaboration with local affiliate organizations and provides students the opportunity to attend quality, live performances. Fairbanks Arts conducts administration for school participation through the promotion and coordination of student attendance to performances by partner organizations including Fairbanks Symphony, Fairbanks Concert Association and Fairbanks Drama Association.
