About the Institute
The Teaching Artist Institute of Rochester is a professional development series for emerging and advanced teaching artists to expand their teaching practice and connect with a community of artists. This institute is open to artists of all disciplines, including but not limited to creative writers, visual artists, musicians, dancers, multi-media artists, and theater artists living in or near the city of Rochester, NY.
With funding thanks to the New York State Council on the Arts, Community-Word Project’s Teaching Artist Project staff have created this training in partnership with arts community members from the Rochester area. The Institute’s training curriculum is based on Community-Word Project’s Creative Process exploration methods, teaching practices and arts-in-education philosophy developed over the last 23 years. The training is free for teaching artists and will run September-December.
For this year’s training, there are two tracks applicants may choose to apply for: Teaching Artistry 101 & Leadership in Teaching Artistry. The extended deadline to apply is October 1, 2021.
