Arts in Education
The Cultural Alliance provides Arts in Education residencies in Adams County schools. Exceptional teaching artists are trained and placed in educational, community and professional settings to provide custom-designed, arts integrated experiences.
EITC Funded Residencies in Adams County
As of September 1st, the state funds that powered these residencies for Adams County children have been eliminated. That means that this year, for the first time, the Cultural Alliance is now 100% powered by our community supporters and EITC contributions.
Current Adams County residency sites include public or private schools, senior centers, community organizations, childcare centers, businesses/private sector & other non-profit organizations. Current Adams County residency sites include:
- Biglerville Elementary School
- Upper Adams Intermediate School
- Gettysburg Montessori Charter School
- Upper Adams Intermediate School
- Alloway Creek Elementary School
