In 2012 The Association of Teaching Artists declared the third week in May as National Teaching Artists Appreciation Week. Thank you to the arts organizations that credited ATA and celebrated Teaching Artists at the heart of their organizations! Teaching Artists are important and integral parts of quality education and vibrant communities, and the third week in May ATA officially celebrate their many contributions to making life better for so many children and adults.
