artists teaching in schools and communities

In Progress provides a variety of creative arts opportunities for K12 students that vary from short introductory sessions to multi-week partnerships.  Residencies are designed with classroom teachers and administrators to  meet the learning needs of those involved.  Teaching artists provide students a foundational understanding of  creative storytelling in the art forms of photography, video and/or music.  Find out more about our 2026 partnerships below:

Highland Middle School

June 22 - July 26, 2026

In-Progress artists Kazua Melissa Vang and Dhoua Hli Vue will lead Highland Middle School students in creating meaningful audio stories centered on their family histories and cultural identities two days a week June - July. Students will explore storytelling as a tool for self-expression while learning how to plan, film, and produce video content. The program emphasizes creating media that respectfully and authentically honors each student’s identity.
