Description
The Alaska Statewide Teaching Artist Roster (STAR) is a juried list managed by the Alaska State Council on the Arts. It recognizes professional artists who are qualified to work as teaching artists in schools, organizations, and communities across Alaska. The roster connects artists with paid opportunities to deliver arts education, residencies, and community engagement programs, particularly through initiatives like the Artists in Schools (AIS) program and other arts education grants. Being included on the roster is a prerequisite for many teaching artist opportunities funded by the Council, serving as an endorsement of artistic and teaching excellence.
