What is a Teaching Artist?

 

A professional artist who also has a broadly educative role in the community while maintaining and extending their own practiceA Teaching Artist is a practicing professional artist with the complementary skills, curiosities and sensibilities of an educator, who can effectively engage a wide range of people in learning experiences in, through, and about the arts.
