The Arts-Based Collaborative is a center under the College of Health, Education, and Professional Studies of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga that works in partnership with educators to develop and integrate arts-based learning experiences. By partnering with our teaching artists and arts specialists, we can provide customized arts learning experiences in art, music, dance, and drama to enrich and integrate with educators' goals or curriculum.
Our mission is arts integration, or teaching non-arts curriculum with and through the arts. Arts integration can inspire a lifelong love of learning and of all art forms. Bringing the arts into the classroom creates joyful, active learning experiences that engage learners in ways that can increase academic and social-emotional development for all ages.
