ABC is celebrating 7 years of UTC-Wolf Trap! πŸŽ‰ That is 7 years of dedicated professional development for educators through the arts and arts integration, and 7 years of growth for infants to 7-year-olds in early literacy, math, social-emotional learning, cognitive, physical, artistic, and creative thinking.
🎨 We are grateful for our roster of teaching artists who keep this program exciting with their creative work in and out of the classroom! They are an amazingly talented, creative, and kind team.
We could not serve Hamilton County without our partners, grants, and supporters like the TN Arts Commission, ArtsBuild, Chattanooga 2.0, ArtsSpark with EPB, City of Chattanooga Department of Early Learning, donors like the Spector Family and Lauri Rotella, WTCI-PBS, Hamilton County Schools, Madison County School System, the Hamilton County Health Department, WUTC and many more. Thank you for what you do to support an arts-rich community in and around Chattanooga, Tennessee! πŸ™
Our gratitude extends also to the College of Health, Education, and Professional Studies at the University of Tennessee of Chattanooga--it's an honor to represent the university in classrooms around the county.
And a big "thank-you" to the Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts! We are grateful to be part of the Wolf Trap affiliate network, who are bringing the arts into education spaces all around the globe. Thank you for your expertise and continued support! Here's to another year of working in and through the arts. πŸ₯‚

As teachers prepare for a new year, I am relishing in the memories I have from just last week at the Arts, Education & Ideas Summit - a teacher training by the Chattanooga Arts Partners in Education in which it is quite an honor to be included.

Many hands come together for this training. Many thanks to my colleagues at ArtsBuild , Arts-Based Collaborative , Hamilton County Schools, and Chattanooga Theatre Center. UTC Honors College - thank you for the beautiful setting.

To our teachers resting up for tomorrow, my hope is that your cups are filled with the joy of a creative learning classroom and culture. You are our heroes. Thank you for everything you do each and every day.

In May of 2025, Sarah Thompson joined ABC @ UTC as the Program Assistant. And so far, she has jumped right in, navigating a variety of tasks and contributing creative ideas to solve problems and elevate our impact story sharing capabilities. On Friday, she completed Holmberg Arts Leadership Institute. She has already applied the valuable skills this training provides. So proud of Sarah and happy to celebrate her first anniversary at the Arts-Based Collaborative at UTC.
