On May 8, the ARTeacher Fellowship marked the completion of a successful yearlong cycle with a public reception and celebration at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. This year’s list of accomplishments included transformative arts-based classroom projects, publications in academic journals, presentations at national and statewide conferences, and numerous awards and recognitions.

The year-end reception was also an opportunity to honor and bid farewell to the following graduating third-year fellows, who have completed their ARTeacher journey:
Hannah Faught (Bentonville HS)
Suzanne Murphy (Farmington Career Academy)
Martha Sandven (University of Arkansas)
Celine Simpson (Bentonville HS)
Penny Springmann (Bentonville HS)
Kristen Stout (Ramay JHS)

Thank you to all our first, second, and third-year fellows for your tremendous work turning the ARTeacher Fellowship’s vision of skillful, creative, and caring pedagogy into reality! #arteacherccy
