Host Beth Bailey takes us behind the scenes of her latest community art residency, "Greetings from Duval Elementary."

In this deep dive, Beth breaks down the logistics of running a grant-funded program for over 400 students. She shares the reality of balancing artistic vision with school budgets, the importance of paying visiting artists, and why she chose to personally absorb a funding gap to ensure the project’s success in her home district.

Highlights include:

• Scaling a project for K-5 students using a "production line" philosophy.

• Partnering with mentors and local creatives to show students viable artistic paths.

• Navigating the "Double Life" of being an artist-parent in a community facing financial challenges.

Perfect for educators, grant-seekers, and anyone believe in the power of a "woven" community.
