Fall Programs for Teaching Artists

Thanks to the 100 teaching artists who responded to our survey
this summer. You told us what you wanted and we've responded!
The Bartol Foundation is pleased to present the first of the fall
series of Teaching Artist Workshops (previously presented by the
Foundation as part of LINC Philadelphia.)

Kick off the fall with a master class with Elizabeth Johnson,
Associate Artistic Director of the Liz Lerman Dance Exchange that
explores text and movement. Then join us for our three-part
series: "Marketing Yourself as a Teaching Artist"

Art Educator Conversations

There are two ongoing roundtables in Theatre and Visual Arts that bring together education directors or those with primary responsibility for education within their organizations. For more information email the Bartol Foundation.

Resources for Teaching Artists

Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse

As professionals working with children, teaching artists have the legal responsibility for recognizing and reporting child abuse. Resources and advice are available through the Pennsylvania Family Support Alliance.

In addition, we have added resources to the Downloadable Files (click on the left tool bar) including information on the developmental characteristics and stages of artistic growth in children, as well music exercises. We also suggest these resources.

Consider subscribing to the Teaching Artist Journal, written by and for Teaching Artists. They are always looking for articles about best practices in the field.

Those who want to learn more about Eric Booth's work should consider his book "The Everyday Work of Art" available online.

The Teaching Artist initiative is led by LINC Philadelphia partner the Stockton Rush Bartol Foundation.
