By joining the Circle of Supporters, your gift to the Tennessee Arts Academy Foundation (TAAF) creates a ripple effect—caring for and investing in the arts educators who show up every day to inspire their students. TAA’s year-round programming and training bring together a community of K-12 educators in music, visual art, theatre, dance, arts leadership, and arts integration. This support makes it possible. Through our programming, arts educators are encouraged, rejuvenated, and empowered to inspire and shape thousands of young minds. One arts educator can reach thousands of students, families, and communities—helping to create a more beautiful and meaningful world!
Your contribution directly supports our arts educators. By investing in TAA, you are investing in professional development, rejuvenation, and collaboration within a community of artists and arts educators. That investment extends to the students they serve, fostering a lifelong appreciation for the arts.
Not every student has equal access to quality arts education. Your investment helps bridge this gap by providing scholarships and resources to teachers in under-resourced communities who may otherwise be unable to participate in TAA programming. By investing in these educators, you extend that opportunity to their students, providing them with access to the life-changing benefits of a comprehensive, high-quality arts education.
Arts education matters. Your contribution opens the door to a world of experiences that support educators and extend that impact to their students, helping them grow as learners and as human beings. The arts provide students with opportunities to create, express, explore, connect, and see the world in a myriad of new ways. Students discover their voices, build confidence, develop curiosity, and feel the joy and meaning that the arts bring to their communities and the world.
A vibrant arts community is critical to the vitality of our region. Tourism, supported by the arts, is a powerful economic force in the state. By investing in Tennessee Arts Academy educators and the students they teach, you are strengthening the cultural capital that makes Tennessee an amazing and arts-rich place to work, visit, and call home.
We know that there are many worthy causes competing for your support and we are grateful for the opportunity to invite you to be part of the Tennessee Arts Academy story. Your investment in TAA begins with an arts educator, reaches their students, and extends into families, schools, and communities. Together, we can help ensure that the transformative power of the arts continues to inspire, enrich, and change lives for generations to come.
The Tennessee Arts Academy is grateful for the individuals, businesses, foundations, and organizations who believe in the power of arts education and choose to invest in the educators who make it possible.
