Because Hamilton County Art Teachers Rock!!

Fifteen years of advocating for arts education. Fifteen years of championing the belief that every student in Hamilton County deserves an art teacher. And fifteen years of being grateful for educators like you who make that vision real every single day.

This spring is dedicated to the people who keep creativity alive in our classrooms every day. To say thank you, we're planning teacher training opportunities designed around your schedule, your interests, and your creative recharge. We want to make exploring art as accessible and enjoyable as possible — and that starts with hearing from you. If you are a Hamilton County Art Teacher, please fill out the form below so we can bring your all our fun resources and workshops directly to you. Funding is generously provided by the Tennessee Arts Commision.

    • International Market and More artist participation increased by 2% 

    • Increased number of Art Teacher Makerspace training workshops and school visits

The Urban Art Bike Program was also going strong this summer. We had five kids who worked with artists Ondina Aguirre and Gaz Gazzola to build a Jelly fish art bike. During teacher training, the teachers worked with Kate Warren to build a cicada bike. They were exhibited at the Library’s Maker Day and you can expect to see them delighting people around town in the future.
