Teaching Artistry for Social Impact

Join us to learn about the work that artists do in communities and schools to make a change in the world.  You will develop your skills to produce social impact through your creative practice. 
The course illuminates a range of strategies that teaching artists use to bring vision, intention, and effective practice to their socially engaged work. The strategies identified draw on teaching artist practice from around the world and illustrate the design and efficacy of that practice in different cultural settings.
Take this opportunity to expand your work, under the guidance of teaching artist experts. Throughout the course, you will be given opportunities to reflect on and develop your own practice and provided with a framework to shape your next project for social impact.
The course can be taken as a standalone learning experience or can be enhanced by engaging with the four case studies of teaching artists’ responses to the climate emergency in 2021 in the ITAC IMPACT: Climate Case Studies. [Click here to explore the Climate Case Studies]
