Arts ReimaginED is creating opportunities for arts facilitators and teaching artists!

May 1 – 3, 2025 Discovery Lab: Purpose, Connection, Collaboration, and Mentorship 

How do purpose, connection, collaboration, and mentorship shape and elevate your creative practice and teaching artistry? 

Teaching artists are invited to explore these foundational elements and their transformative impact on artistic growth, learning environments, and community engagement. Through reciprocity, cross-disciplinary perspectives, and diverse ways of knowing, this interactive experience will guide artists in understanding how their own curiosity and inquiry process can deepen artistic expression, strengthen relationships, and foster meaningful change. 

By engaging in both group and individual sessions, participants will discover how purpose fuels creativity, connection builds trust, collaboration expands possibilities, and mentorship nurtures the next generation of artists and learners. 

The Discovery Lab is co-designed and facilitated by Jean E. Taylor (Lincoln Center Education) and Karen Youngberg (Arts Commons Education), providing a rich and immersive space for teaching artists to refine their practice and amplify their impact.
