The Black Teaching Artist Fellowship (BTAF) provides free studio space for an artist in exchange for serving as integral members of Root Division’s Studios Program. A key part of the fellowship includes teaching students at a partner school in San Francisco.
Working as teaching artists-in-residence throughout the school year, BTAFs develop and facilitate curriculum-based projects. These Fellows guide students through discussions, storytelling, and art-making.
The Bay Area Black Artist Studio Fellowship (BABASF) is supported in part by the Redtail Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation.
