What We Do
The Mid-Atlantic Teaching Artist Retreat brings together arts education professionals from across the Mid-Atlantic region to build and strengthen a regional network of highly qualified teaching artists. Intended for teaching artists of all experience levels working in school and community settings, this retreat was designed to:
-
Support teaching artists holistically, sustaining both the profession (entrepreneur) and the person (discipline expertise)
-
Expand the arts education landscape to include more representation of rural, urban, suburban locations, in-school and out-of-school experiences, and diverse communities
-
Support teaching artists in developing high quality arts education delivery
-
Expand on the learnings of previous retreats
-
Connect teaching artists with colleagues across the Mid-Atlantic region
