aTi is a co-sponsored program of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts and Arts Horizons. Additional funding has been provided by The Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation. For over 36 years, Arts Horizons has impacted the lives of more than 9 million children and adults through the power of the arts. We are committed to making the performing, visual, literary and media arts and artistic expression equitable and accessible to diverse people of all ages and abilities. We believe that the arts are fundamental to a child's education, stimulating learning, enriching the teaching process and providing lifelong learning. Our exceptional programs are customized to meet the unique needs and goals of your population and site. We provide:

Engaging residency programs conducted by professional teaching artists

Interactive live performances

Participatory arts workshops for seniors that promote well-being

Adaptive programs for populations with special needs and children in hospitals

Professional development for teachers and staff that builds skills in and through the arts

About the Artist/Teacher Institute (aTi)
aTi is a transformative professional learning experience and artistic retreat unlike any other where teachers participate in hands-on workshops in the visual, performing, literary and digital arts taught by master teaching artists. It's no wonder that more than half of aTi participants have attended the program more than once. Many participants say that aTi has changed their careers by impacting the way they teach and how students learn. Others emerge deeply connected or reconnected to the creative process. The majority experience both. We welcome you to explore aTi’s impact both in and out of the classroom by browsing participant scholarship reports, lesson plans, workshop projects and testimonials.

What We Need:

We need to raise $3,750 to provide NJ teachers with over 250 hours of workshops in art and technology. We are asking our donors to bring in $4,150 before fees on Indiegogo. With $3,750 in our scholarship fund, we can send more than a dozen teachers to aTi to gain skills in art and technology that enhance their professional practice and student learning.

If we do not reach our goal through the Impact: aTi Campaign, we will be grateful for whatever donations we've received so far. Something is better than nothing and our teachers will be thankful for your generous support whether or not we get the full amount. If we raise more than our goal, any additional monies will still go straight to the scholarship fund.
