Earlier today we had the great pleasure of facilitating the first of two webinars for the Grassroots School Partners in collaboration with North Carolina Arts Council.
Over a fast and fun packed hour, we explored best practices, planning, and partnerships. We’re truly excited to see more teaching artists collaborating with schools in rural NC; these residencies can be life-changing experiences for our students, schools, and communities.

Earlier today, we ​facilitated our first in-person professional development workshop with Buncombe County Schools in Asheville, NC.
We had a fantastic turnout with teachers from all arts disciplines participating in our Inclusive Teaching Practices training.

Join Teaching Artists Connect as we explore 'The Composition of Community':
Exploring composition across subject areas.
Monday February 28th 2022, 9am-10am, on Zoom
Teaching artists Heather Bryce and Gowri Savoor demonstrate how the theme of composition can be explored through multiple art lenses and across subject areas to open the door to a safe and creative inclusive learning environment.
The presenters will share how students can engage the creative
​process, generalize skills to make connections, increase communication, build community, and enhance learning.
This workshop is hosted in partnership with Durham Public Schools
Facilitated by Heather Bryce and Gowri Savoor of TAC.
