The key to the success of our program lies in the quality of artists VAIS attracts to share their knowledge with our students. The VAIS Roster is a resource for classroom teachers, offering a list of vetted professional artists, residency ideas, and professional background information.

Please check the list below for artists on the 2021-22 roster by artistic discipline.  Click on a name to view/download a detailed entry in PDF format. When considering classroom projects in this unusual academic year, applicants are encouraged to imagine learning through online synchronous & asynchronous platforms, as well as hybrid/online models.

Artists wishing to teach with VAIS are invited to apply at any time by sending a letter of interest and resume to vais@vashoncenterforthearts.org.
