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.

Today I am happy to announce that the application for the PK-12 Teaching Artists Roster is available and information is online at the MAC website on the Teaching Artist page that you can access by clicking here.
