Founded in New York City in 1997, Teaching Artist Project has trained over 800 artists through our 8-month program, Summer Institute, and custom trainings. We are a collective of antiracist, diversely experienced, training, emerging and working arts educators and teaching artists who sought out a supportive community of self-reflective, justice-oriented practitioners to enhance our teaching. The program entails a transformative 8 month curriculum, rich in social justice-based pedagogy that also provides supervised on-the-job experience.

This design was created with love by TAP Facilitator and former Co-Director, Adriana Guzm?n.

Her foundation in multiculturalism instilled a spirit of global citizenship at a very young age - prioritizing humanity while transcending geographically and politically imagined borders. This essence has carried through in her work as a Facilitator, Visual Artist and Creative Educator. Adriana received her BFA in Graphic Design and Art Education from Pratt Institute, and an MFA in Intercultural Service, Leadership and Management from The School of International Training. She has worked with students and adults of all ages, facilitating creative & restorative journeys of self-reflection and active hope, integrating a social justice lens.
