The Teaching Artists Guild Awards seek to raise the visibility of teaching artists within the arts in education and community arts fields and in the organizations and institutions for which they work as well as honor innovation in teaching artistry. Nominations are made by peers in the teaching artistry field and winners are selected by panel review.
While the TAG Awards will be online, across the country our regional networks are hosting in-person watch parties and community gatherings for teaching artists in their area. These watch parties are a chance for teaching artists in the area to gather together in-person, watch the awards, celebrate the field, and build community. Join teaching artists across the country for these watch parties!

Interested in hosting a watch party? The Teaching Artists Guild is looking for regional network leaders to host a watch party for our annual TAG Awards. These watch parties are a chance for teaching artists in the area to gather together in-person, watch the awards, celebrate the field, and build community. TAG will pay each regional network leader who hosts an event $300 for food, drink, space, etc. We encourage all regional networks to create their own awards for local teaching artists for the celebration. We'll shout out any regional awards during the May 18th ceremony!
