Artists Serving Our Nation as Teaching Artists
ArtistYear is dedicated to addressing inequities in Arts Education for K-12 students.
To ensure that every low-income student in America has the opportunity to reap the social-emotional and academic benefits associated with arts learning, ArtistYear created the first National AmeriCorps program for artists to serve to our nation.
We develop, support, and place exceptional Fellows as full-time Teaching Artists at low-income schools.
This innovative strategy significantly bolsters arts education for our most nation’s most vulnerable youth, while improving student academic and socio-emotional development, enhancing school climate and capacity, and developing a new generation of Citizen- Artists steeped in national service.
