The NYC Arts in Education Roundtable is proud to launch the fifth cohort of the New York State Teaching Artist Mentorship Program. This regrant opportunity seeks to proactively help mid-career Teaching Artists from across the state develop the networks, skills, and increased capacities necessary to support career advancement and sustainability.

The program connects at least 22 mid-career Teaching Artists with a mentor educator or arts leader for 7 months. This program is dedicated to providing funds, mentorship and connections to artist educators across New York State working in and with communities that have been systemically marginalized in the arts education field. Each participating Teaching Artist will be awarded $2,450 to support their participation in the program.

To apply, you must submit an application through Submittable. The application will close on January 30th at 11:59pm ET. If you’d like to review the application via Google Doc in advance, you can do so here.

An information session will take place Tuesday, January 13 from 6-7:30pm ET. During this two-part session, the Roundtable staff will review eligibility, program requirements, dates, and deadlines followed by a presentation by Caits Meissner on creating a Teaching Artist CV. A recording of this session will be made available on our YouTube page.

The NYC Arts in Education Roundtable’s New York Teaching Artist Mentorship Program is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. Additional support for this program is provided by the Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation.
