PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The South Dakota Arts Council says it has created a new enrollment period for artists interested in working at schools and with nonprofits.

The Council says artists wanting to apply for the Artists in Schools and Communities program now have until April 15 in the spring to apply. The program previously only accepted applicants in the fall by its September deadline.

The program provides intensive, hands-on training in all arts disciplines to students by providing funds to schools and nonprofit organizations that bring in groups and individuals for residencies. Artists are responsible for developing their residency lesson plans.

The Council says applicants should give themselves plenty of time to prepare materials. Applicants must submit several items, including an artist statement, residency outline and work samples.
