USA ITAC Hub

The United States Hub is co-hosted by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, an arts organization and civic center in New York City that has been a home to Teaching Artists for over 50 years, and AHAS: Archive for Health, Arts, and Spirit, a collective based in Hawaii that leads culturally grounded, arts-based approaches to healing, education, and resilience.

Lincoln Center brings unparalleled artists and a history of excellence in arts education. AHAS supports programs and professional learning that integrate ancestral knowledge, creative expression, and care-centered practices, especially through the lens of Indigenous ways of knowing. Together, Lincoln Center and AHAS are committed to ensuring that artists and Teaching Artists are at the forefront of community transformation. Both organizations understand the complexity of our current moment and believe that artists hold essential tools for reimagining a more just, connected, and compassionate world.

The US Hub currently hosts the Global Working Group on Accessibility, which brings together international leaders to share resources, develop tools, and deepen inclusive practice across teaching artistry.

In 2026, the US Hub will also launch the Global Working Group for Arts, Health, and Education.

"At the heart of our US Hub is a belief that the arts are essential to individual and collective well-being. Whether through education, community practice, or system change, we see Teaching Artists as key contributors to creating a more accessible, healthy and resilient world. Together, we are building pathways that place creativity at the center of recovery, justice, and care."
