In the past, TAG has supported K-12 Visual Arts programming by offering a space for students to display their artwork in a professional gallery setting. TAG also supports our Visual Arts teachers by providing professional learning opportunities throughout the year. Jeff, Michaela and the growing TAG team actively seek new and meaningful ways to lift the Arts in High Point as well as Guilford County Schools.”

I’ve enjoyed every one I’ve taken.”

Encouraging aspiring artists, of all ages, to learn, grow, and create in a collaborative space. The residents of High Point and surrounding communities benefit from having an organization where the creative mind can continue to blossom and grow."

“Our partnership program, Art for Health, with The Art Gallery at Congdon Yards over the years has provided so many of our student visitors with the opportunity to create art that complements our healthy living curriculum in a fun, engaging way. The quality of art instruction has always been phenomenal and Michaela is amazing at helping students build self confidence in their artwork while incorporating many aspects of our programs. Art for Health is the number one requested addition to the programming at Millis and we are so thankful to work with such a wonderful organization!"
