Co-sponsored by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and Arts Horizons  and now in its 35th season, The Artist/Teacher Institute (aTi) provides classroom teachers, administrators, students and artists with in-depth, hands-on experiences in a variety of art forms that encourage professional growth and discovery.  By expanding their creativity, participants learn new skills to integrate arts into their curriculum and professional practice while connecting with a community of peers.  Led by internationally renowned master teaching artists, aTi 2010 summer workshops include Book Arts, Latin Dance, Modern Dance, Creative Movement, Music, Printmaking,  Playwriting, Theatre, Games & Improv, Oil Painting, Glass Painting, Installation Art, Poetry Out Loud and Memoir.
