In 2015 Eric Booth was given his nation’s highest award in arts education and was named one of the 25 most influential people in the arts in the U.S. Author of 8 books and 33 articles, he founded ITAC, was on the faculty of Juilliard (12 years, co-founding the teaching artist program), Tanglewood, The Kennedy Center (20 years), and Lincoln Center Education (41 years). He’s a consultant for many arts organizations, cities, states and businesses around the U.S. and 11 other countries.
“I believe teaching artistry is the sleeping giant of social change, and ITAC is the home where it is waking. The global workforce is still largely disconnected and invisible; ITAC is the catalyst that connects and empowers its future.”
