The Cree School Board works with an outside company, inPath, to coordinate artist placements in our schools. The artists are trained to work in our schools and have experience with First Nations youth. An increasing number of our artists are from Eeyou Istchee.
Most schools have six artists-in-residence during a given school year.
An artist-in-residence is paid to create art alongside the students so that students can learn by modeling the creative process of a more developed artist.
