The term teaching artist encompasses many purposes. The GCA K-12 Teaching Artists Registry is a directory of teaching artists who are professional artists connecting their artistic practice with educational needs. Hiring a teaching artist is beneficial in adding a blend of creativity in developing curricula.

The GCA K-12 Teaching Artists Registry features qualified teaching artists who have extensive training and experience in one or more artistic disciplines, are available to work in schools and at organizations serving K-12 students around the state, and have passed a background check to work in a school environment. The registry includes competitively evaluated professionals and ensures a high-quality standard for performances, workshops, and/or residencies, providing schools and organizations with the best artistic experiences.
