Open to emerging and established artists working across all mediums, this exhibition recognizes the creative lives of those who teach, mentor, and inspire others through the arts. It offers art educators an opportunity to share work developed beyond the classroom and highlights the personal artistic practices that continue alongside—and often inform—their work as educators. Proceeds from artwork sales directly support both participating artists and Art Center Waco’s exhibitions, education programs, and community initiatives, helping ensure continued access to meaningful arts experiences throughout the region.
