in progress - kelliher school

 

  1. Kelliher School has been a program partner of In Progress since the early 1990s.  In Progress was there when the school introduced its first computers to the community and provided consultation when the school developed a community-wide technology initiative. 


  3. To this day In Progress artists conduct residencies at the school, focusing on digital literacy curriculum that has a strong “hands-on” component and utilizes creative artmaking as the delivery tool of core academics.


  4. The 2008 schedule includes work with approximately 100 students from the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 7th, and mentorships with digital artists from the Special Ed and Arts Programs.
