Kyrene Students Expand Art Education with new Tempe Arts in Schools Program

TEMPE, Arizona (November 5, 2025) Six teachers in Kyrene School District will partner with professional artists this year through the City of Tempe’s Arts in Schools residency program, and students will reap the rewards. The artist residencies will each provide 16 classroom sessions throughout the year for students at Kyrene de los Niños, Kyrene del Norte Dual Language Academy and Kyrene Middle School.

Funded by Tempe Community Arts, the Arts in Schools residencies benefit both students and teachers, giving students new opportunities to explore creative techniques while offering teachers collaboration and support to enrich their instruction. Far beyond your typical arts lessons, this program allows students to experience the arts as a living, dynamic part of their community.

The focus this year covers a wide range of artistic experiences, from visual arts and orchestra to theater and technical production, giving elementary and middle school students opportunities to explore creativity in many forms.
