A note from HATs!:
“We are incredibly honored and excited to be a part of THAT. We represent a cohort of Hunterdon County High School Art Teachers. It goes without saying that THAT’s mission is at the core of what we try to do every day in the classroom… cultivate awareness and recognition for and of the arts. We believe that being a good teacher is an art form in and of itself. But each of us is dedicated to being a teaching artist. We are potters, painters, sculptures, and photographers. We question, explore, interpret, and sometimes just make. Our art informs our teaching in a way that no textbook can. We are busy people and we struggle to make time for our art. The inclusion of our art in this show is a celebration of all the hard work we do to stay artistically connected and committed to the process. We thank THAT for their work and their support of our programs.”
