The Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council has created the Teaching Artists Opportunity Grant to benefit arts educators in Western Pennsylvania.
It will provide up to $2,000 per artist for continued learning and professional development.
According to a survey by the council, more than 40% of artists earn income from teaching in K-12 schools or through other partnerships. Previous grant opportunities did not include teaching artists, said Kristen Wishon, director of communications for council.
