Teaching Artists Organized, TAO, is a consortium of Bay Area organizations working together to strengthen the field and to enhance the professional development of teaching artists in schools and communities. A Teaching Artist is a professional artist, or arts organization, with skills in both teaching and in the arts. Teaching artists work in a variety of school and community settings. TAO staff and associates provide facilitation and workshops for teaching artists, individual artists and arts organizations. TAO works with a variety of arts and cultural groups to help them identify strategic goals, increase their capacity and to design plans of action.
Connects nonprofits and public libraries with donated and discounted technology products. Offers nonprofits a one-stop resource for technology needs by providing free information, resources and support.
The Artist’s Office is operated by Los Angeles based artist Virginia Broersma. It was born out of a recognition that many artists need help and support with the "office work" of being an artist. As the Artist’s Office, Virginia works with artists to identify and pursue opportunities such as grants, exhibitions and residencies, while also offering occasions for knowledge growth, project planning, and peer support.
Part of her work involves engaging with the systems and opportunities available to artists to better understand if and how they are failing to meet the needs of artists. Participating in advocacy and generating camaraderie amongst artists are key elements of this work, which is founded in a belief that artists can create change within the art world.
