Abstract	After two years of planning, the Minneapolis Schools began a unique Urban Arts Program during 1970-71, funded under Title III of the Elementary Secondary Education Act. Urban Arts is an arts school without walls for junior and senior high school students who leave their home schools part of every day during school hours to study with professional artists where the artists work. The participating arts agencies provide the learning environments, the artist-teachers, and the instructional design of the courses. A total of 626 students representing just about every social, economic, ethnic, and educational background in the city enrolled for courses during the school year; another 327 took summer school courses. The Bryant School Museum Program involved 600 students. Students enrolled in 13 classes offered during the school year; nine during the summer program. Classes were ungraded and students received no grades but did get credit for successful completion of courses. Classes were taught by 32 artist-teachers. In general, they were talented and young not-yet-recognized artists, although there were exceptions. An Advisory Board of students, parents, and Minneapolis Schools' personnel was selected to help set policy for the program. It met four times during the year. (Author/JM)
