Teaching artist and teachers engage students

Teaching artists play leading role in creative learning

In a lively preschool classroom in Nashville, children eagerly pick up their pretend paint buckets and use imaginary brushes to paint triangles, circles, and squares in the air.

The great joy of learning lies in discovery. Since its inception, TPAC’s ArtSmart has enriched classroom curriculum and helped students discover the tools they need to have a meaningful encounter with a live arts experience. This deeper drive is facilitated by TPAC teaching artists at no cost to schools.

Innovative TPAC programs create opportunities for the arts to change the community and influence life and learning in significant ways.
