Reasons

In 2007, Judith Tannenbaum posted an excellent entry on Arts Blog about the ongoing professionalization of the Teaching Artist:

That’s the question I’d like now to ponder: What do we teaching artists, students, program administrators, site partners, community activists cherish about the work of art in other places, as Bill Cleveland calls it, as it has been practiced over the decades? What do we want not to lose as teaching artistry becomes a more formal field?

If you ever feel like you need to talk about these things, ATA is on Facebook, and everyone is on Twitter:
