Fine Arts in RISD Presented by Jeff Bradford Executive Director of Fine Arts RISD Board Meeting October 3, 2016
Fine Arts Vision The expectation of all RISD Fine Arts programs is to promote and maintain the widest possible participation with the highest possible standards. Our programs are designed to provide opportunities for students to achieve true mastery of content and to provide them experiences that allow them to leave RISD and have a positive impact on our society and their communities.

FINE ARTS OPPORTUNITIES

Theater and Technical Theater
Dallas Summer Musical Awards (DSM)
Evaluates all musical programs across North Texas and
hosts a “Red Carpet Event” that mirrors The Oscars.
Over the 2015-2016 seasons, RISD schools have been
nominated for 48 different awards
In recent years, RISD schools have won Best Musical, Best
Supporting Actor, Best Actress, Best Featured Actress, Best
Featured Actor, Best Ensemble, Best Scenic Design, Best Tech
Execution, and over $20,000 in fine arts scholarships through
this program.ADDITIONAL EFFORTS TO PROVIDE ACCESS RISD provides the more expensive band and orchestra instruments (cello, string bass, oboe, bassoon, bass clarinet, tenor and baritone saxophone, tuba, baritone, and percussion). Students pay a $100 fee to cover maintenance and repairs. The fee is payable in installments over the year and waived for students who show a true need. RISD Fine Arts has consistently utilized bond funds to purchase quality used instruments that RISD students typically buy themselves – flutes, clarinets, saxophones, trumpets, and trombones. These instruments are used as rental instruments across RISD for students in need.
ADDITIONAL EFFORTS TO PROVIDE ACCESS Beginning in Fall 2008, RISD established an instrument rental plan from a local vendor that does not require a credit check, as many of these parents operate exclusively in cash. Fine Arts performance attire (uniforms, etc.) is provided by RISD bond money. For the first time ever, all students in grades 7-12 who are in band/choir/orchestra will be provided proper formal concert attire to look their very best.
ADDITIONAL EFFORTS TO PROVIDE ACCESS All RISD fine arts programs are no-cut; however, we do place students in ability-grouped classes at the secondary level. This facilitates individual and group achievement in a team environment. Many aspects of our secondary fine arts programs have participation by all students together – marching band, select choir performances, and select orchestra performances.
ADDITIONAL EFFORTS TO PROVIDE ACCESS All RISD music booster clubs offer a private lesson scholarship program to economically disadvantaged students. All RISD fine arts booster clubs provide payment plans for families in need. All programs are allowed opportunities to evaluate family needs and make informed decisions to benefit the child.

RISD Fine Arts Challenges
TEACHING SPACE CHALLENGES
Secondary
Ensuring that we can add or expand space as our programs
grow
We want to work with our campus administrators to
identify true needs and look at creative ways to solve these
within the current footprint of the building
Elementary
Elementary music classes sometimes share space
Band/Orchestra areas need to be consistent, quality learning
environments
RISD is unique in dealing with 6th grade space for
instrumental musicRETENTION To remain competitive in the marketplace, we will benchmark stipends and staff allocations against neighboring districts and make recommendations for the 2017-2018 budget.
RISD Fine Arts Recommendations
PRIORITY #1 - STAFFING
Continue to attract and retain the very best Fine Arts staff by:
Providing them the resources they need to engage, educate,
and retain students and to help those students achieve at the
highest level possible both individually and collectively.
Remain competitive with our benchmark districts.
Continue to grow the JH band, choir, and orchestra staffing as
enrollment grows.
Continue to evaluate work loads of all staff so that they feel
like they are able to serve their kids at the highest level
possible.PRIORITY #2 - TEACHING SPACES Continue to evaluate all campuses and maximize space available. Continue looking at long term solutions for elementary spaces that need attention (elementary music/6th grade band/ orchestra) PRIORITY #3 – PROGRAM ENHANCEMENTS Evaluate and assess needs as they come up: Ex: Visual arts supplies/repairs Continue to support professional development opportunities for staff travel and increase staff members out of pocket expenses Evaluate and plan for inflation of expenses: Ex: Contest entry fees, repairs for equipment
