Teaching Artists are a crucial resource in any community. Here in Wichita Falls, we are fortunate to have a corps of talented resident artists who eagerly share their skills with children and young people in a variety of settings. These artists create a tangible link between the creative process and lifelong learning – both in the classroom and in neighborhoods.
During this period of social-distancing and self-isolating, artists are still creating! Enjoy this showcase of brilliant and imaginative projects created by the energetic Wichita Falls Teaching Artists. Click on each image below to find out how area artists are using their talent during this time. Send us a note if you see works of art that are particularly interesting to you -we will pass it on! The artists would appreciate hearing from you.
