Bring Free Arts Education to 
Your School!






How it Works
  • Schools interested in TAP contact TAP coordinator Katie Wolff (Rapid City Arts Council's Art Education Director) to discuss eligibility and teaching artist availability: phone: 605.394.4101 (Press 3); email: katie.wolff@thedahl.org
  • Principal approves of program and schedule.
  • Teaching Artists receive their residency site placements.
  • Teachers meet one-on-one with the artist to discuss curriculum connections, student-learning goals, and process.
  • Artists visit a classroom and teach a one-hour session, once a week, for six consecutive weeks. Each artist is trained prior to teaching.
  • Watch your students benefit, learn, and grow!
TAP's Benefits 
  • Art is a catalyst for learning, and integrating arts instruction into the school day heightens a student's engagement across subjects. 
  • Art education isn't only creative, self-expressive, and fun, it teaches students to see clearly and think creatively. 
  • It is a practical tool for our future engineers, designers, architects, and scientists.  
  • Arts education cultivates a love for creative problem-solving, a vital skill for any occupation in our ever-changing world. 
  • Art instruction provides classroom teachers with additional resources to strengthen student understanding on a variety of classroom topics. 
  • The school, educators, and students strengthen ties to the Rapid City community as a whole.
On behalf of the Rapid City Arts Council, the Dahl staff, Board of Directors, and our volunteers, we would like to express our sincere gratitude and thank the City of Rapid City for their ongoing support of our organization. It is because of support like this that we are able to continue to fulfill our mission to champion inclusive, innovative and inspired arts opportunities to enrich the communities we serve. 

The Rapid City Arts Council receives support from generous members and donors, the City of Rapid City,  SD Community Foundation, and the South Dakota Arts Council with funds from the State of South Dakota, through the Department of Tourism and the National Endowment for the Arts. Special thanks to Bierschbach Equipment and Supply and Dakota Business Center, Carter Taylor.

​​The Dahl Arts Center is a municipal facility managed by the Rapid City Arts Council and owned by the City of Rapid City.​
