Surdna Arts Teachers Fellowship Initiative: A Documentation and Analysis of the First Ten Years

In 1997, The Surdna Foundation began its long-term commitment to the artistic advancement of teens. As part of this commitment, we soon recognized that public arts high schools around the country were critical democratic sources offering advancement of artistic opportunity to teens from all backgrounds.

By the year 2000, Surdna launched its Arts Teachers Fellowship Program (SATF) in support of the talented and committed teachers helping to guide the artistic growth of the young people in these schools.

We are delighted to share the documented analysis of SATF's first decade.

Design Corps supports the vital role that design can play in addressing critical issues and needs of communities. Through the Social Economic Environmental Design (SEED) initiative, Design Corps provides communities, institutions and design professionals with the tools and services they need to integrate community-engaged processes into design activities, leading to projects that reflect a community's values and cultural identities. Public inclusion as a "best practice" in design is increasingly recognized as a highly effective way to sustain the health and longevity of a place or a community.
