Artist in Residency (AiR) Program

The HCSF Artist in Residence program brings professional artists into Hudson schools for hands on experiences that spark creativity and enrich learning.

Past programs have included the Art Cubes project at Hudson Middle School and the Cinderella Residency at McDowell Elementary.  

Through AiR, the Hudson City Schools Foundation helps expand arts education across the district.

Cinderella Residency Program

Thanks to a grant from Hudson City Schools Foundation’s Arts in Residence program, McDowell Elementary kindergarten students participated in the Cinderella Residency Program, an inclusive arts experience that used storytelling, theater, and character lessons to explore what it means to be an ethical citizen.

Over the course of the residency, students watched Cinderella, took part in interactive classroom sessions, and prepared a school-day performance for Portrait of an Explorer Day, giving the entire school a chance to experience the program.

Sydney Guillaume Composer in Residence

Thanks to a grant from Hudson City Schools Foundation’s Arts in Residence program, Hudson High School choir students participated in the Sydney Guillaume Composer in Residence Program in 2023.
