Artist & Writer in Residence (A&WiR) is the Art Academy of Cincinnati’s free outreach program for K-12 classrooms in the Greater Cincinnati region. Students in the A&WiR program are challenged to creatively problem solve, collaborate with their peers, and invest in their social and emotional learning through the arts.
Through sustained engagement with local and regional Middle and High Schools, our Teaching Artist & Writers staff enhances in-school studies in art, writing, foreign language, and social studies classes. Each educator that joins the A&WiR program is provided the materials, curricular support, and partnership to create a transformational experience with a partnering Teaching Artist & Writer from the AAC.
The Art Academy of Cincinnati extends an invitation to S.O.U.R.C.E. STUDIO Corrina Mehiel Fellow recipients to continue their residency and share their work with the AAC community and the City of Cincinnati.
Support for this program comes from Four M Investments, LLC.
