Learning Lab: Emerging Artists Edition
During this monthly workshop series, you will learn and gain a better understanding of the school system, the value of art in education, and your role as a Teaching Artist. Each workshop is meant to be experiential, conceptually informative and collaborative. We approach learning as active and participatory, so get ready to connect with other professional artists with a diverse range of experiences, perspectives, and creative practices. Together we will explore the power and potential of the arts through a collaborative approach.
