On Friday’s Cafe, there was a discussion about how and where TAs find work outside the traditional pathways of partnering with arts organizations. We moved on to a different subject, but I wanted to remind people about their Spheres of Influence. Your spheres are pathways to advocate to change policies that impact us, grow TAMA, and establish new partners for your business. It is a coordinated effort that takes time! But at this point in my journey, it has produced the most exciting work that promises to be ongoing and sustainable.
During the pandemic, we talked a lot about how to make pitches to your spheres about your own personal work. Maybe it’s time to revisit some of those conversations. 🙂
Teaching Artists of the Mid-Atlantic is a network that advocates for, supports, and empowers Teaching Artists in the mid-Atlantic region.
TAMA is an all-volunteer, non-profit endeavor and is free to join. Our vision is to create connections, answer each others’ questions, and share inspiration through our collective experience and wisdom. We grow together!

One of the challenges of our profession is that there is very little data about who we are, what we do and where we are working. Without a documentable presence, it’s difficult to advocate for funding and policies that benefit our work. Your profile will both help promote your work individually and it will help us aggregate data for our region. As you fill in the blanks below, you will have a choice as to who is allowed to see some of the information. Please note that the “Just Me” option does allow TAMA administration to see what you’ve entered. For example, when you enter your phone number, you can prevent that from appearing in your profile if you like, but TAMA administration can see it.
