There are 165 artist profiles on the blog as of August 2018, and many professors (full-time and part-time) have been featured. Today I highlight 37 artists who teach at 26 different colleges and universities. Check out each profile to learn more about their work in higher education as well as how artists balance multiple jobs, family, and running a dance company. (Some dancers listed here have since moved onto other colleges/universities or positions as deans and chairs, but today we are leaving each post with its original content.)
Also check out Nia Love's artist profile and her take on higher ed gigs. Click here.
