Group Summer Institute Participants, the inaugural event of the annual Art21 Educators program. Production still from the Art21 Specials series, “Art21 Educators.” © Art21, Inc. 2019.
Art21 is proud to announce the twelve educators that will join the incoming ninth cohort of Art21 Educators. These individuals come from rural and urban communities, teach a variety of grades, and, with our first-ever participant to reside in Australia, represent regions from across the globe.
As a year-long intensive experience, the Art21 Educators program encourages teachers to consider new ways that contemporary art can support teaching and learning both in the arts and other disciplines.
We are excited to welcome this group of educators into the Art21 Educator community!
