Teaching Artists are vital partners in our schools and communities. The NYC Arts in Education Roundtable believes it is imperative that we prioritize and invest in Teaching Artists who are facing disproportionate financial impact due to the pandemic.

With this in mind we are proud to launch Empire State Creates: Teaching Artist-Led Activities for Everyone, a new pilot grant program seeking to support teaching artists and offer continued arts learning opportunities for New Yorkers of all ages.

Join us for an Information Session on Wednesday, April 28, 5-6pm ET. This session will walk interested Teaching Artists through the application process and give space to answer questions from the community. A recording of this session will be made available on the Roundtable website. Attendance is encouraged but not required to submit an application.

This project is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
