The Tennessee Arts Academy Foundation (TAAF) was established in 1998 to aid and assist in the growth and expansion of the Tennessee Arts Academy. Through their active participation in this nationally renowned training institute, Tennessee Arts Academy teacher-participants renew their commitment to active learning and artistic literacy, to the power of the arts to promote critical thinking, and to the importance of the arts in the lives of all students. The TAAF Board of Directors shares in the belief that educators trained at the Tennessee Arts Academy are better equipped and motivated to serve their students, significantly raise achievement levels, and effect positive and lasting change in classrooms throughout the state. The board pursues its goals through a yearly plan of action which includes a variety of fundraising events and community awareness programs designed to inform and educate the public, state education leaders, and government officials regarding the merits of the Academy and the critical need for increased emphasis on the arts and creativity in our schools. The Foundation accepts both individual and corporate contributions. For further information about the Tennessee Arts Academy Foundation, call 615-988-6250 or email questions or comments to taaf@tnartsacademy.org.

Forever stamps would be helpful throughout the year for mailings
Office supplies are helpful throughout the year
Teacher supplies and snacks would be helpful for the Academy week in July; we would need to receive those by early June to be sure we have enough of each type needed for everyone.
We will include the specific items we need on our Amazon Wish list as we are made aware of those.
