Recognizing that such teachers often lack the time and resources to reconnect with the artistic processes they teach, the Program provides grants of up to $5,500 to enable selected teachers to make art with professionals in their disciplines and stay current with new practices and resources. A complementary grant of $1,500 is awarded to each Fellow's school to support related post-Fellowship activities.
The program offers teachers the opportunity to immerse themselves in their own creative work, interact with other professional artists, and stay current with new practices.
