Arts in Education Services
To New
York
City Youth Since 1967
Students from
kindergarten through grade 12 have participated in Ten Penny Players'
performances, chapbook
publications, and exhibits. In Search of A Song
series began in 1983 at the Jefferson Market Branch of the New York
Public Library and continued through the publication of volume
#1000. Streams
brought together in 16 annual anthologies high school student writing
from all educational streams. Each student who is published in a
Waterways chapbook or picture book receives multiple copies for friends
and family. Enough copies of each book are given to participating
teachers to give out to the entire class. Ten Penny Players
coordinates book
parties, where authors sign their books and perform for attending
parents. Using Streams
On Line (SOL), students work one on one with teaching
artists. Barbara Fisher's teaching artist
journal recorded her distance learning lessons with Vocational
Training Center students at Bronx Community College.
