Arts Integration Menomonie has named 16 University of Wisconsin-Stout students as PAINT program interns for the spring semester.

As part of PAINT — Program for Arts Integration for New Teachers — the UW-Stout students are paired with community partners for arts teaching practicums.

In the fall, 12 UW-Stout art education students filled 15 PAINT internships. The spring group includes early childhood education majors.

“The first semester of PAINT was so successful that for spring we extended the application process to include UW-Stout students in the early childhood education program,” said Tami Weiss, executive director for AIM and program director for art education at UW-Stout.
