The Teaching Artist Program provides the
opportunity for your students to experience a broad range of art forms and
innovative arts activities in your classroom and school! Music, movement,
creative writing, visual arts, and folk life are only a few of the available
topics for you to consider. Each of the Session Options is designed and
presented by a local professional Teaching Artist. The quality of our education
programs is directly related to the high caliber and expertise of our Teaching
Artists.
The arts can be integrated with all areas of
curriculum and are proven to enhance student learning. Even when using the arts in limited
ways, students are responsive and enthusiastic. Invite a Teaching Artist to
your classroom and experience the arts as powerful teaching, learning and
motivational tools.
