The Teaching Artists Guild (TAG) seeks nominees for the Annual TAG Awards (formerly the ATA Awards). The Awards aim to increase the visibility of teaching artists working within the arts in education and community arts fields, and celebrate the organizations and institutions where they work as well as honor innovation in teaching artistry.
After many years working alongside each other, Teaching Artists Guild (TAG) and Association of Teaching Artists (ATA) merged in December 2020, continuing our great work under the Teaching Artists Guild name. This will be our first Awards as our newly merged, national organization.
Nominations will be accepted for:
"Innovation in Teaching Artistry Award" - an early to mid-career teaching artist making innovative and powerful contributions to the field of teaching artistry.
"Teaching Artist Ally Award" - a professional, who is not a teaching artist themselves but who has demonstrated a commitment to supporting teaching artists. This could be a partner classroom teacher, principal, Arts Council member, arts administrator, or other.
"Distinguished Service to the Field Award" - a long-tenured artist educator showcasing a demonstrated history of impact in the field.
Teaching artists of any artistic discipline are eligible for consideration. There is no limit to the number of nominations you can submit, however you cannot submit multiple nominations for the same individual. Nominations will be accepted through March 5, 2022. Winners will be notified by November 17th. The Awards will be presented at the "Our Shared Future" Conference in April.
