It’s a challenge….Maintaining that tricky balance of keeping an active personal
art-making practice in conjunction with teaching -- and maybe traveling to multiple locations to share the arts experiences we value. And then there’s promoting the work, staying active in performing and exhibiting.... And…making a living?

This “winter warm-up” gathering day will give us time to discuss, share, and brainstorm strategies for achieving the kind of healthy and fulfilling balance we dream of. Whether you’re a teaching artist, an arts educator, a combination of both, or a student headed into the field, this gathering will enrich and inspire!

Join us for a day that combines workshops, a guided visit of the current gallery exhibit, and an interactive panel discussion led by experienced teaching artists.

Highlights include:

• “Transcendence of Trees: Memorials and Maquettes”  Gallery Talk with Emile Birch
• Virtual Versus In-Person Visit: A talk by PSU Professor of Art Education Jason Swift
• Getting Gigs and Making Work! -- an Interactive Teaching Artist Panel
• Sharing of resources, including websites for teaching artists
• Discussion on balancing art-making and teaching work: how do we market ourselves? what strategies work? what has changed? what tools do we need?
  
   Professional development certificate available.
