About the 2022 Teaching Artist Retreat
Sponsored by the Delaware Division of the Arts, Maryland State Arts Council, New Jersey State Council on the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, Virginia Commission for the Arts, and West Virginia Department of Arts, Culture and History, the 2022 Mid-Atlantic Teaching Artists Virtual Retreat brought together arts education professionals from across the Mid-Atlantic region to build and strengthen a regional network of highly qualified teaching artists.
This event took place via online video conferences on August 9 and 10, 2022. Participants had the opportunity to acquire financial tools, artistic knowledge, educational pedagogy, and self-care practices that are necessary to lead sustainable careers as entrepreneurs and creatives. 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 and suburban locations, in-school and out-of-school experiences, and diverse communities
-
support teaching artists in developing resiliency in the “new normal” of online arts education delivery
-
expand on the learnings of the 2018 and 2020 Mid-Atlantic Teaching Artists Retreat
-
connect teaching artists with colleagues across the Mid-Atlantic region
