Training Programs to Support Teaching Artists, Arts Educators and Administrators

Bartol’s training programs range from single-session workshops, customized training for groups and organizations, to an intensive 20-hour certificate course in Trauma-Informed Practice. Each program blends theory with real-world tools, emphasizing the connection between how we teach and how we care for ourselves and others in the process.

Continued Education

When artists have the resources they need to grow and thrive, their communities thrive too.

Bartol Foundation funds small Philadelphia arts organizations that are actively advancing racial, gender and disability justice through community-led arts education. We support programs that provide equitable access to inclusive, culturally connected art-making and creative skill building led by teaching artists in deep relationship with the communities they serve.

Impact

The Bartol Foundation believes in the power of the arts to strengthen Philadelphia’s communities. We invest in community-based arts organizations making a big impact and provide professional training that equips teaching artists to share their gifts and sustain their careers. As artists ourselves, we understand both the challenges and the joys of a creative life, and we are committed to celebrating and supporting those who make art a vital part of our city.
