The Emerging Teaching Artist (ETA) Program, launched in the Fall of 2022, is a multidimensional work/study training program for a cohort of participants interested in the intersectionality of arts, education, social justice, and community health.
The program includes training in arts integration teaching methods and facilitation with Priscilla Kane Hellweg, and on-site training opportunities in public school and community settings.
ETA participants include community based artists and students drawn from Bay Path University, Hampshire College, Holyoke Community College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, the University of Massachusetts, and Westfield State College.
If you or students you know are interested, please reach out to Priscilla at Priscilla@artsintegrationstudio.com
