Educational Partnerships
Our network of creative professionals facilitate hands-on workshop series with high school and college students
Co-Created Spaces: Workshops with Students
Our multi-faceted approach to teaching supports a co-creative process between professional artists and designers, high school & college teachers and students. We simultaneously introduce the students to various opportunities in the fields of design, while engaging them directly in the creation process.
This partnership seeks to expand opportunities not only for all students involved to grow from perspective-broadening contexts, but to understand that pursuing art, design and physical skill-based fields in their studies and as careers are viable options for their futures and as paths for self-expression.
Transdisciplinary Approaches to STEM Teaching & Learning
A one-off workshop with Forsyth Satellite Academy art class students in 2020, has grown into a years-long embedded partnership with the Lower East Side’s Title One transfer public high school, and the Interiors Department at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn NY.
Our collaboration is rooted in years of trust-building, between Paula Walters Parker (FSA art teacher), Keena Suh (Pratt professor), and Allison E Samuels (TLUP founder & director), with generous support from Samantha Pritchard (FSA principal).
At the core of our model, is TLUP’s ever-expanding network of value-aligned professionals, who wish to support our next generation of artists & designers. Does this sound like you?
