Bon Debarras Professional Artist Residency at Bellevue Elementary

Musicians, actors, dancers, authors and artists provide active engagement to valley students.

A fundamental part of Sun Valley Museum of Art's mission is to work in partnership with local schools to inspire students’ curiosity and develop their skills in improvisation, self-expression and critical thinking. Professional Artist Residencies are offered 2–5 times annually and impact thousands of students every year through classroom visits and performances.
