Arts Education & Outreach
For Educators
Arts “in” Education is distinguished from “art education” by being less about teaching art, but rather on how to improve learning through the arts.Be Inspired Grants (BIG) and the Showcase of Excellence (SoE) focus on supporting innovation and creativity among our area students and teachers.
In 2016, TFAC joined with Spartanburg District One Schools in the Partners in Education program of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in order to provide professional learning in the arts for teachers.
For Adults
For Youth
Tryon Fine Arts Center is committed to education in the arts for all members of our community, striving to bring life-enriching lectures and workshops to adults.
No matter your interest or experience level, TFAC offers the chance to immerse yourself in a variety of disciplines.
