Vision■ This proposal request was to fund the creation of a digital library for teaching artists, for use in the new set of courses to be included
in the North Carolina Central University (NCCU) Teaching Artist Certificate program. Our vision is that the teaching artist digital library,
Interpreting the Arts: A Digital Library for Humanities Teaching in the Performing and Visual Arts, will aide the student, equip the
instructor and provide a substantial collection of resources to the teaching artist field at large. The first of its kind at an HBCU and
only the second university in the U.S. to host such a course, the NCCU Teaching Artist Certificate program--an online instructional
program—launched its first students, Fall 2017. The first courses included pre-requisite material, but subsequent courses in future
semesters will incorporate the contents of the proposed digital library: The course, Arts Integration and Collaboration and the
Capstone Residency for Teaching Artists. The digital library will comprise a diverse array of American artists, including a segment of
African-American native North Carolinians. These artists chronicled are from all genres in the arts, and all arts disciplines. The
resulting collection will fill a void in humanities materials featuring an underrepresented and diverse cultural swath of regional and
national internationally renowned performing and visual artists.

Why this project?Traveling far and it’s lonely, keeping the dreams that you’ve sown. See the truth as it is, or that life that you live may not be your own.”
