OTHER NEWS:
Arts, Culture and Heritage Minister Chansey Paech said the NT Government Artists in Schools program provides a range of benefits for students.
"Artists have been working in Territory schools since the early 1990s so this program is an oldie but a goodie," he said.
"Our Government knows that art matters and that creative expression provides a broad range of benefits, especially amongst our young people. That's why we continue to support Artists in Schools.
"This year's contingent of artists is set to inspire and mentor students right across the Territory and I'm looking forward to seeing the fruits of their labour."
