Mentoring Opportunity

The New York State Alliance for Arts Education is currently accepting applications from Master Level and New to the Field Teaching Artists to participate in the Arts-2-gether: The Big Brothers Big Sisters Program, a Visual Arts mentoring program for students with special needs.

Arts-2-gether (formally named Side by Side) is an art mentoring program uniquely designed for students with special needs, ages 7-21, who have been recommended by their school or organization as having an interest in participating in an expressive art-making experience.

In response to input from a group of beginning, mid-career, and experienced Teaching Artists, ATA's focus in this survey is Teaching Artists' experiential knowledge. We ask you to share your knowledge, your stories, and what your experience has taught you.  This image is Kris Crosson working at the Salvation Army After School Program.  Photo copyright Greg W.
