TAG of California
TAG of California is a network of organizations and individuals who believe that teaching artists can and should play a front-line role in engaging Californians in lifelong learning.
Our network includes teaching artists and arts administrators with varying years of experience and expertise representing regional arts organizations, educational settings, and community social service organizations from across the state. As a strong, well-equipped network of professional teaching artists in California, TAG of CA is building public awareness for the value and role of teaching artists in the community, sharing best practices and resources for delivering quality arts education experiences, and advocating for the professional status of teaching artists.
With support from the California Arts Council, TAG of California will offer free access to training, curriculum, and online tools helping teaching artists statewide connect to fellow professionals and hiring organizations. Our spring programming partially funded by CAC is titled the The CAC Project. This program will hold four events that are for TA’s by TA’s in rural areas of California. They are led by a Regional Network leader that curates an event specific to the needs that they see in their community. These paid teaching artists are called “Regional Network Leaders” with at least 3+ years of experience. These leaders will have substantial knowledge of teaching artistry in their area and will be comfortable with grassroots community organizing. Look out soon for the four events leading up to the TAG awards in May.
The Coordinator of the CAC Project will lead the small group of Regional Network Leaders and work with TAG Co -Executive Directors in hiring and facilitating the monthly meetings leading up to the regional events. We are so excited to introduce our coordinator Shayla James! Check out her bio below.

History: Formerly Teaching Artists Support Collaborative of California (TASC), we are a network of organizations and individuals who believe that teaching artists can and should play a front-line role in engaging Californians in lifelong learning. We believe every student in California’s schools deserves to engage with all arts disciplines (dance, music, theatre, literary and visual arts) every day as part of a well-rounded, high-quality education. We understand that learning occurs throughout one’s lifespan and we know that the arts are a meaningful tool for all ages in every community to learn, engage and celebrate.
