PIERRE — South Dakota schools and communities have the opportunity to give lasting learning experiences to students of all ages through a grant program of the South Dakota Arts Council.

The South Dakota Arts Council (SDAC) is now accepting grant applications for its Artists In Schools and Communities (AISC) residency program. The grant deadline is to March 1.

Through the AISC program, students — adults and children alike — will learn about fine arts in an exciting, relevant, hands-on environment.

Residency genres include dance, literature, writing, music, theater, visual arts and traditional arts.

A theater residency could include classroom workshops or a full-length production featuring local students at the end of the week.

In the visual arts, participants can choose from pottery, weaving, painting, drawing, sculpting and community murals.

The traditional artists include residencies in cowboy culture, American Indian hoop dancing and rodeo clowning.

The two-page application is available at http://www.artscouncil.sd.gov/a isc/aiscsponapp.pdf.
