Knowing that In spite of
our numbers, our
importance, and the
value of our skills,
Teaching Artists are all
but invisible on the
national arts radar, and
are almost entirely
disconnected from the
non-local organizations
and gatherings that
advance the national
agenda, in 2006 with the
goal of supporting the
growth, visibility, and
impact of Teaching
Artists on the national
arts scene, ATA, worked
with Eric Booth, to
place a Teaching Artist
at major national
conference and have the
Teaching Artists blog
about what he / she saw
that was of relevance to
Teaching Artists.
