Teaching Artists work directly in every kind of community (schools, hospitals, neighborhoods, companies) to create change at the individual and community level.
​
Teaching Artistry is the sleeping giant of social change, and this book shows us why.
Eric Booth
A PRACTICING TEACHING ARTIST for forty-four years, working with the world’s most prestigious organizations (including Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, Juilliard, seven of the ten largest orchestras in the U.S. and organizations in sixteen other countries) and hundreds of grassroots initiatives, Eric Booth is widely called “the father of the teaching artist profession.”
A Broadway actor, successful entrepreneur, keynote speaker, global consultant and teacher, and author of seven previous books, he co-founded the International Teaching Artist Collaborative (ITAC), the first global network of artists who work in communities and schools. He lives in Hudson River Valley north of New York City, and works actively with programs around the world, especially Vermont’s Community Engagement Lab, the Academy for Impact through Music and the Global Leaders Institute. His website is ericbooth.net.
