July 11 – August 31, 2016
The State of Florida is filled with talented, dedicated artists who are also talented and dedicated,
certified full-time public school teachers. The lives of these particular people are spent trying to
balance the challenge of expressing their artistic selves while pursuing their profession as a public
school educator.
The STAR program is designed to honor and nourish the artist-educator by providing five public school
educators from Florida with the opportunity to pursue their artistic work in the inspiring environment of
the prestigious Hermitage Artist Retreat. Three-week residencies will be offered to two visual artists;
two writers (fiction/non-fiction/poetry/playwriting); and one composer from July 11 – August 31, 2016.
A Hermitage residency is a gift of time and space for artists to attend to their work. There is no
requirement to produce. It is intensely personal time for concentration AND a gathering of a
community of artists from different disciplines who share and learn. Traditionally, invited artists have
seized the opportunity and found themselves more productive than at any other time in their creative
lives. Interested educators may apply beginning January 18, 2016.

FAAE recently hosted three FREE Careers in the Arts workshops to inspire and guide middle and high school art
students in the pursuit of traditional and non-traditional arts careers. We are extremely thankful to our partners at Full
Sail University, Ringling College of Art + Design, and The Florida State University College of Music for their
hospitality and contributions to this successful series. Nearly 200 students participated in the 2016 workshop series.
Students heard inspiring messages from our keynote speakers: Wes Day and Kevin Connolly from Blue Man Group,
Ringling President – Dr. Larry Thompson, and Disney Imagineer – MK Haley. Students engaged in handson activities in breakout sessions related to photography, animation, sound engineering, graphic design, stop motion animation, theatre arts,
performance venue careers, journalism and arts critics, arts education, dance and choreography, video game design, music publishing,
marketing, entertainment law, storytelling, Coding and Robotics, art history, music therapy, arts management, architecture and design, and
more!
FAAE sends sincere thanks to ALL who contributed to the success of this workshop series!

The 2015-2016 school year marked the seventh year of the FAAE Arts
Integration Symposia Series.
The AISS provides unique
programming in differing regions of the state and targets arts teachers,
non-arts teachers, school administrators, community arts organizations,
teaching artists, and arts advocates. The AISS provides professional
development, identifies resources and best practices, disseminates
information regarding state and national policy and delivers regional
advocacy training. The goal of the AISS is to demonstrate best
practices for student learning IN and THROUGH the ARTS.
