The search engine will use criteria you provide to find listings that match what you're looking for. You can choose a broader search by using just one of the fields. Narrow your search by filling in additional fields. Once you have entered the applicable information, click SUBMIT. You will be provided with the program you are seeking member listings that match the criteria you select, based on one or more of the following:

• KEYWORD This can be any word or phrase that applies to the type of artist you are seeking. For instance, if you are looking for a puppeteer who uses animal puppets for your school, type in animal puppet. The search engine will find all entries that contain either the word "animal" or "puppet". Generally, it's a good idea to use the root of the word you're looking for (i.e., "puppet" instead of "puppets" or "puppeteer").
• ARTIST NAME Use this field if you know all or part of the artist name you are seeking. To Skip This: Leave field blank.
• CATEGORY You can choose to narrow your search according to the categories in the member directory. Use the "drop-down" menu to choose Dance, Music, Reading/Writing/Storytelling, Theater, or Visual Arts, or none. If a category is engaged when you conduct your search, you will only access member listings within that specific category. Make sure the category chosen matches what you are seeking. For instance, if you are searching for a dancer named "Phyllis Johnson" and type her name in the ARTIST NAME field, but have Reading/Writing/Storytelling engaged in the CATEGORY field, "Phyllis Johnson's" member listing will not be included in the search results. You may choose "none" in the CATEGORY field to search across all five categories. To Skip This: Choose "none".
• GRADE If you are looking for an artist that is geared toward a certain grade level or range, use the drop-down menu to narrow your search. For instance, if you are looking for a storyteller appropriate for kindergarten through second grade students, select K in the from menu and 2 in the to menu. You will only receive listings that fall within that range. To access listings in all grade levels, select K through 12. To access one specific grade level, use the drop-down menu so both from and to match the grade level you're looking for. To Skip This: Choose K in the from field and 12 in the to field.
