More than 66 performing, visual, literary, and media artists on the Young Audiences’ Teaching Artist roster will lose at least $165,000+ in income because of school closures through April. Teaching Artists collaborate with classroom teachers to enhance curriculum with artist-led, hands on, creative programs that introduce and reinforce academic concepts - all while making learning meaningful, joyful and accessible to students.
