Hi, this is Tae Kim. I am a New York-based teaching artist dedicated to making art education accessible and meaningful in diverse learning environments. My work spans museums, public schools, and New York City parks, where I create engaging curriculum and lead both in-site and off-site programs. Whether inside museum, school classrooms, or outdoor public spaces, I strive to connect students with art in ways that encourage creativity, exploration, and personal expression.
I hold a Master’s degree in Art Education from the School of Visual Arts, which has shaped my commitment to integrating museum education principles into my teaching. I am passionate about exploring a wide range of materials, empowering students to discover new ways to express themselves through art. By introducing students to different techniques and tools, I aim to provide them with the skills and confidence to create freely and meaningfully.
Seasonally, I bring interactive public art programs to families at Washington Square Park, transforming the park into a creative space where children and caregivers can engage in hands-on art-making. My approach to teaching goes beyond technical skills—I encourage students to reflect on their identities, communities, and cultures through art. By fostering an open-ended, inquiry-based learning environment, I help students develop confidence, curiosity, and a deeper understanding of the world around them.
Through my work, I continue to bridge the gap between museums, schools, and public spaces, making art an accessible and transformative experience for all.
