This past March, A+ Schools of North Carolina—a program of the North Carolina Arts Council—selected 10 new A+ Schools Apprentice Fellows. Following a revised recruitment process, which focused on identifying and inviting a more diverse group of applicants, the program welcomes its most diverse Apprentice Fellows cohort ever: 60 percent are artists and/or educators of color. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility are ongoing commitments of A+ Schools, and this new class of Apprentice Fellows reflects those priorities.
