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.

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.
