Your Partnership Makes an Impact

1000+
Arts Educators, Administrators, & Advocates

The Tennessee Arts Academy, with its headquarters based in Nashville, TN, offers a variety of year-round programming including our Summer Institute, Virtual Winter Retreat, Master Classes, and Open House Performance Showcases. These events bring together arts educators, administrators, faculty presenters, and advocates from across the state and beyond for high-quality professional development, collaboration, and renewal.

200,000+
Students

The impact of the Tennessee Arts Academy extends far beyond the educators who participate in our programming. TAA participants bring new knowledge, skills, and strategies back to their classrooms, reaching more than 200,000 students across Tennessee and beyond. Through their work, the impact of TAA continues to ripple outward—strengthening arts education and inspiring the next generation of creative thinkers, artists, and advocates.

Tennessee
& Beyond

While the Tennessee Arts Academy presents its programming in Tennessee, its reach extends far beyond state lines. Nationally recognized faculty presenters bring expertise and perspectives from across the country to TAA programming, while arts educators from outside Tennessee also participate in TAA events.

40+
Years

The Tennessee Arts Academy was established in 1986, marking more than four decades of continuous programming and service to arts educators. TAA’s longevity reflects a strong foundation, a statewide reputation, and a commitment to providing high-quality professional development and resources year after year. With support from partners like you, TAA can continue building on this legacy for decades to come.
