Talking with Artists Who Teach

Many artists, in addition to their artistic practice, maintain a rich and dedicated teaching practice. Though the popular notion is that artists teach to supplement their income, this study understands that teaching is, for many artists, an opportunity to think deeply about the nature of art, their own artistic practice, their own growth and development, and what and how others learn in and through the arts. The project focuses on interviews with working artists who have made a significant commitment to teaching. The interviews and commentary will be posted to a project website, currently under development.
