Arts Education at TPAC encompasses the expanding field of educational practice and research informed by investigations into learning through arts experiences. Our programs include a variety of approaches to use the power of the arts to expand imagination, creativity, knowledge, connection to other subjects, problem-solving, confidence, and collaboration. Arts Integration describes a variety of ways to impact student learning by integrating the performing arts with academic subjects. The combination incorporates the creative expression, methods, inspiration, and motivation of the arts with curriculum content and objectives.

Teaching artists (TAs), also called artist/educators or community artists, are professional artists (performing, visual, literary). They teach and integrate their art form, perspectives, and skills into a wide range of settings. TAs work in TPAC’s arts education programs in various capacities. They are paid professionals who travel to schools for one-time visits, residencies, and after-school programs. TAs also partner with educators; provide professional development; lead school, family, and community workshops; and research, assess, and generate supporting materials. They utilize their expertise in the arts and the creative process with activities and explorations. They tailor these for the participant age group, program goal, setting, and specific educational partnerships.

Contact us and choose the “Education & Community Engagement” option.  We will respond and let you know if there are upcoming opportunities to join our teaching artists faculty.
