Integrative Arts Studio
3-Week, 12-Week & Customizable Studios
The Integrative Arts Studio offers Indigenous youth opportunities to develop creative, transferable skills that serve them well beyond the walls of the classroom. Whether for three weeks or twelve weeks, all of our Studios are founded on learning activities that are positive and experiential. All Integrative Arts Studios include an opportunity for the school to hire a Youth Artist Assistant (YAA) role to support the teacher throughout the duration of the Studio.
NOTE: 12-week Studios are only available for schools that have previously hosted a 3-week Integrative Arts Studio.

Is Your School Ready?
Ensure Your School Can:
- Provide a classroom/studio space to work in throughout the duration of the Studio.
- Assign a Program Coordinator to communicate with the N’we Jinan team and assist with organizing Studio logistics.
- Confirm that the Program Coordinator is available to attend the inPath training week in Quebec (specific date to be discussed).
- Choose a teacher, administrator or support staff who will collaborate with the artist to help promote the programming, recruit students and act as a liaison between the school and the community.
- Provide a staff member to support all extracurricular/after school sessions (this does not have to be the Program Coordinator).
- Identify local artists and/or Knowledge Keepers who will work with students during the Studio to advise, develop project ideas, and/or carry out the art project.
- Provide housing for the artist for the entire duration of the Studio.
- Provide a Program Coordinator who can support long hours (10-14 hour days) during the weeks of the Integrative Arts Studio.
