Artists in the Schools

Encourage creative expression and critical thinking — bring a MOCHA Teaching Artist into your school!

"The art classes have given my kids a way to express themselves. They love doing it and get excited about it."

–Teacher, Tilden Elementary

MOCHA residencies introduce students to the fundamentals of visual art, then build upon these basic tools through hands-on art lessons that utilize a wide variety of materials and techniques. Lessons can be tied to language arts, math, science and/or social studies curricula.

School-Day Residencies

Short- and long-term residencies that build visual arts skills and enhance student learning in core subject areas

Afterschool Residencies
