Visiting Artist Programs

TEACH ART THROUGH SCHOOL

La Napoule Art Foundation and Denver share a special connection. Denver artists are a mainstay of the Foundation’s residencies at the Château de La Napoule, working and learning alongside international artists, writers, and creatives. Artists return to Denver, bringing their experiences at the Château back to our community, enriching the local arts scene and enlivening Denver classrooms.

HARNESSING THIS ROSTER OF WORLD-CLASS ARTISTS

LNAF has expanded its impact by creating tailor-made art programs in Denver schools, bringing meaningful art experiences, and inspiration, from the Château directly to communities in our city. Since 2013, LNAF has implemented Visiting Artist Programs in Denver Public Schools, at such partner schools as Hallett Academy, Stedman Elementary, Kipp Collegiate, Park Hill Elementary, Smith Elementary, and C3 Elementary.

Each Visiting Artist Program is led by an LNAF artist and staff member, who work together to create a custom art program designed to meet your specific needs and goals. LNAF values exploratory learning and encourages artists to imbue projects with innovative concepts and personal meaning. One of the goals of the Visiting Artist Program is to close gaps in education by providing quality art programs to schools that may not have the resources to provide regular art programs.

To foster the next generation of artists and 21st century thinkers, LNAF strives to make the arts accessible to all through outreach and exhibitions in the community.

BECOME A VISITING ARTIST

If you are a professional artist with a passion for supporting the next generation of artists and creative problem-solvers, you may be just who we are looking for! Artist mentors work directly with students in the classroom and then enjoy a lasting relationship with the school community for years to come. Artists receive special consideration for a four-week residency at the Château de La Napoule in the South of France.
