The Creative Lives of Educators
Overview
How do educators make space for creative practices in their life outside of teaching? How are teachers inspired and supported by their experiences with the NCMA?
In its mission to be a vital cultural resource to all, the North Carolina Museum of Art celebrates the creative lives of K–12 schoolteachers. North Carolina educators of all disciplines were invited to submit original artwork and artist statements reflecting on their creative practices and experiences with the NCMA to be considered for this exhibition. Their art and statements show the creative versatility and thoughtfulness of the teachers working in our state. The NCMA is proud to support their work
