Opportunity for Teaching Artists
Meeting with Maine Teaching Artists to discuss and brainstorm ideas for MACs Teaching Artist program, Spring 2014
In August I wrote a blog post called What is a Teaching Artist? that provided information on the ongoing work that the Maine Arts Commission (MAC) has made a commitment to PK-12 Teaching Artists and the Creative Aging Teaching Artist program.
