With support from the Peggy Seessel Trust and revenue from RiverArtsFest, along with ArtsFirst grant funding from First Horizon Foundation and ARTSmemphis, hundreds of art educators and teaching artists have benefited from the Peggy Seessel Professional Development Series. The creative workshops have been presented in collaboration with the Art Center Supply Store & Frame Shop and organizations such as Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, The Dixon Gallery & Gardens, Tennessee Art Education Association, Memphis-Shelby County Schools and Arlington Community Schools. Here’s a look at just a few of the free professional development opportunities that presented this year by teaching artists including: Toonky Berry Glenda Brown Brittany Boyd Bullock Kelly Cook Eric Echols Richard Echols Lurlynn Franklin Susan Maakestad Greely Myatt Darlene Newman Sarai Payne Katrina Perdue Nikii Richey Frank D. Robinson, Jr. Juan Rojo Rose Marr Scott Danielle Sierra Michael Terra Jerry Wilson Celebrate and help support this important series as we expand our programming next year as to include new partners from all across Shelby County for the benefit of their students. #supportlocalartists #supportartintheschools #supportteachers
