In a workshop designed to inspire and re-energize arts educators, Trudy supports teaching artists in identifying how to invigorate their personal art practice and help them excel as both an artist and in their teaching career.
"This workshop helped me critically examen my motivation for the work that I do and become articulate about where I want to go within my career. Thank you!" - M. Ender, Artist and Arts Educator.
"Your strength for sure is to get the group to look at their own blocks. Empowering!" - Artist and Arts Educator.
This Arts Providers Alliance event, part of the Conversations in Community Arts and Arts Education Professional Development Series 2009, was hosted in collaboration with the San Francisco Arts Commission, the city agency that champions the arts in San Francisco, and sponsored by the Zellerbach Family Foundation and Intersection for the Arts.
