The 2022 Mid-Atlantic Teaching Artists Virtual Retreat brings together arts education professionals from across the Mid-Atlantic region to build and strengthen a regional network of highly qualified teaching artists. Intended for teaching artists of all experience levels working in school and community settings, this retreat is designed to:

*Support teaching artists holistically, sustaining both the profession (entrepreneur) and the person (discipline expertise)

*Expand the arts education landscape to include more representation of rural, urban, suburban locations, in-school and out-of-school experiences, and diverse communities

*Support teaching artists in developing high quality arts education delivery

*Expand on the learnings of the 2018 and 2020 Mid-Atlantic Teaching Artist Retreat

*Connect teaching artists with colleagues across the Mid-Atlantic region
