The future of our recommendation to the U.S. Department of Labor, submitted in August 2024, remains uncertain. Teaching Artists continue to face numerous challenges, and it will be up to them to advocate for a system that ensures equity and sustainability in their work.

When you carry this bag, you spotlight this often-overlooked profession that profoundly impacts our community, and promote the rich depth of a Teaching Artist?s work, their artistic practice, and their specialized training in delivering transformative arts experiences to schools and community groups of all ages.

By purchasing this bag, you not only elevate the visibility of this occupation but also make a meaningful $10 investment in Teaching Artists of the Mid-Atlantic, an all-volunteer, Teaching Artist-led nonprofit endeavor.

Join us in amplifying the extraordinary work of Teaching Artists who provide high-quality art-learning and creative experiences within our communities. Together, let?s ensure their contributions are recognized and celebrated.

Thanks for your support!
