professional visual and craft artist in to work with students. The projects can
range from 3 hours to 24 hours per school per school year. It’s a cost sharing
program; PAINTS provides half of the artists wage and the school provides the
other half. PAINTS is all about connecting students with professional NS
artists - through discussions, presentations and hands on work in a wide range
of disciplines.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
