Window Gallery Project
#TeachingIsAWorkOfArt
|
During Teacher Appreciation Week
-- and all Summer long --
Turn your Windows into Beautiful Works of Art!
The DC Collaborative is launching the
#TeachingisaWorkofArt Window Gallery Project to show teachers our appreciation for their dedication during these trying times.
How to Participate:
- Using what you have at home, create Window Art to celebrate teachers!
- Share! Share! Share! We would love to see this go viral, (in a good way)! Be sure to share with friends neighbors, parents and students! Get your whole building or block to participate!!
- Post on Social media (tag @DCCollaborative) and use at least one of the following hashtags:
- #TeachingIsAWorkOfArt
- #KeepMakingArt
- #TYTeachers
- #TeacherAppreciationWeek
- Note: Email Tracey@DCCollaborative.org a picture of your window art if you prefer the Collaborative to share on its social media instead of posting throughout your channels
- The DC Collaborative will promote your posts on social media and feature your posts in a virtual gallery!
- Are you a poet and/or performing artist? The window is your stage! Design window art including poetry and/or record yourself performing!
Our very own DC Collaborative Board Member and retired DCPS Art Teacher,
Terry Thomas already sent her window art in to the DC Collaborative!
Thanks Terry!

Teacher Spotlights!
The DC Collaborative is impressed with how teachers all over the world, and especially here in our hometown of the District of Columbia, are responding to the COVID-19 Crisis.
Our T
eachers are Superheroes!
Next week, starting Monday, May 4th, the DC Collaborative will spotlight DC public and public charter school teachers who are prioritizing the arts and humanities with distance learning as a way to thank them for their commitment during this challenging time!
Educators wishing to share how they are responding in the classroom during this crisis are still able to contribute.
Participate here!
