At last week’s Dance Teacher Summit, speakers emphasized the importance of feeding your craft and nurturing your passion. Don’t let your enthusiasm for self-development fade in the wake of the event. Keep those creative juices flowing, and apply to the Boston Arts Academy’s fellowship program for public arts high school teachers.

Hosted by the BAA’s Center for Arts in Education, the National Artist Teacher Fellowship Program will provide as many as 20 grants of $5,500 to selected arts teachers from all disciplines.

Fellows design their own project to enhance their artistry, which can include taking courses, attending workshops or festivals, taking on a residency, completing an independent study project or something totally different. The funds can be used to cover everything from accommodations and travel to art-making equipment to childcare during the program. Plus, a grant of $1,500 is awarded to each fellow’s school to support activities in the classroom.

Applications will be available online by September 27; due November 18. Interested teachers must provide a letter of intent detailing specific plans for the grant, so start planning now. For more information, visit bostonartsacademy.org/center/natf.
