Looking for LA teaching artists - free Ira Glass CD

Dear Art Education Colleague,

Please help the Teaching Artist Research Project reach all the teaching artists and program managers in Los Angeles. The project, led by Nick Rabkin has been collecting names for their on-line survey for some time now, but have hit a plateau far from their estimate of the number of teaching artists in LA. It is vital that we help this project capture the breadth of teaching artists' experiences and perspectives, so please help build their list by taking the actions listed below.
