So, if you are both an artist and an art administrator, how do you balance the two while increasing reputation and resources while retaining integrity and professionalism in both? That’s a good question, thanks for asking.
I hope this calculator will act as a catalyst for the field. If we understand what a teaching artist ought to be paid, we can begin, as a field, to work towards a livable wage, stabilizing and strengthening the work teaching artists do in arts education, creative youth development, and arts in community, across the United States.
