Artree

Founded in 1984, ARTREE is a program designed to enhance the fine and performing arts in the school districts in Merced County. Directed by a committee of Merced County Arts Council, Inc., its purpose is to stimulate creativity, broaden experiences, excite curiosity in all the arts, and discover connections to curriculum.

ARTREE is a resource for the schools and the community in Merced County. The ARTREE roster has myriad professional artists whose services are available to facilitate workshops, give performances, conduct teacher inservices, and assist in curriculum development. ARTREE activities include culture, dance, drama, music and visual arts.


How it Works

The ARTREE Catalog contains information on available workshops and assemblies and is updated annually. The Catalog provides details on individual workshops such as grade level appropriateness, cost, maximum number of students and artist information. To request an artist, teachers fill out a request form for the desired ARTREE activity at least six weeks before the event.
