Teaching Artists Cafe

Part of the ICA's strategic five-year plan www.arts.idaho.gov/about/plan.aspx is to expand technical assistance and professional development services for artists, arts organizations, art educators and communities. Additionally, ICA seeks to support the unique contribution to arts education made by artists and arts organizations.
