Arts Residencies

IlluminArt Productions’ programming is available to public and private schools
(K-12), community organizations, and senior centers.

Programs vary in length from 12 to 20 weeks, culminating with a performance, showcase, or exhibit at the conclusion.

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is at the core of our programs. SEL skills include understanding and managing emotions, setting and achieving positive goals, feeling and showing empathy for others, establishing and maintaining positive relationships, and making responsible decisions.

Create-A-Play (Our Signature Program)

IlluminArt’s Create-A-Play program can be conducted with students of any age. It provides an introduction to playwriting. The various activities provided by the Write-A-Play program are designed not only to be a unique learning experience but also to provide the opportunity for students to exhibit understanding through exploration, communication, and expression that is not always possible within the daily routine and classroom setting.

Mural Making

IlluminArt’s Mural Residency Program brings visual teaching artists together with students to co-create meaningful art in their school environment. Through a collaborative process, students engage in the design and painting of a mural, giving them hands-on experience in large-scale art making. This program not only enhances artistic skills but also leaves a lasting mark, transforming the school’s space with a vibrant, student-inspired mural that adds beauty and pride to their community.

Senior Boomers Ensemble

lluminArt Teaching Artists love working with senior adults to bring out their inner artists and hidden talents! Senior Boomers Ensemble (currently at the JCC) can happen at any center. Participants can either rehearse and perform an already written show or tell stories about their lives and write them into scenes, visual arts, poetry, giving them a voice.
