TAG is a practitioner-led community which raises the visibility and development of artists who teach.

TAG works with partners at the regional, state, national, and international levels to advocate for the work of teaching artists and to forge pathways that will strengthen, develop, and evolve our field both within and outside of the sector.

ITAC is a global network of Teaching Artists (also known as community artists, participatory artists, artist mediators, or socially engaged artists) who use their artistry to catalyze meaningful social change in their communities and schools.

The network is made up of 4,000+ grassroots practitioners from all over the world (45+ countries), 5 National Hubs, and multiple key partners. All of our work and projects are designed to serve the needs of this community.

Our goal is to use this book to create 5,000 new advocates for Teaching Artistry as a tool for profound change.​

Tell us how many books you can share, and where to ship them, and the printing, shipping and handling will be covered by donors supporting the 5,000 New Advocates Campaign.

ERIC BOOTH

A how-to reference for veteran and beginning teaching artists alike.

Levy and a variety of contributing teaching artists narrate their successes and failures while focusing on the practical mechanics of working within conditions of limited time and resources.

Using examples of teaching artist practice you will observe and identify the many skills, communities and places teaching artists are called on to work.

Based on these examples you will devise an entry level project which matches your interests and skill levels.
