Our arts education programming provides training and networking opportunities to support your development as a Teaching Artist. We see great value in providing training for new and established Teaching Artists developing the skills and experience necessary to thrive in the arts education community.
For our national community: Each summer we offer the Creative Classroom Symposium, an annual online convening for entertainment professionals to learn about life in arts education, and for arts education professionals to discuss pressing issues in the field of Teaching Artistry.
For our Los Angeles community: Each fall we offer our signature Teaching Artist Program, a five-week training intensive to help participants acquire the fundamental skills and practical experience needed to teach their art form in today’s classrooms and community settings.
