Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Plumas County Arts Commission will facilitate our 37th year of the Artists in the Schools program for under-resourced students of Plumas County.
Plumas County, still considered a “frontier” in California, is located in the northeastern Sierra Nevada. With a California Healthy Places Index rating of 44.9, and roughly 70% of its land covered by the Plumas National Forest, most of the estimated 19,000 residents live in small communities like Quincy, Portola, Greenville and Chester.
Artists in the Schools is about access, inspiration, and human connection.Through hands-on instruction, the program supports teachers and students by integrating artistic learning into academic subjects such as science, literature, mathematics, and history. These experiences encourage students to think creatively, communicate ideas confidently, and develop problem-solving skills that extend far beyond the arts.
