Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the naming conventions and identities of practitioners working within Australian Arts education with a view to test the suitability of the term Teaching Artist, an identity that has become more visible in recent years within formal and informal Arts education. In doing so, it is asserted that this paper will establish the need within the field for an agreed descriptor for this creative practitioner. This claim is explored through a review of the nomenclature used to describe Australian practitioners operating within both the formal education and community sectors, and a scan of the Australian arts sector to identify where these practitioners are employed and the type of work that they are engaging in. Beyond important issues of identification and representation, this research has the potential to influence employment trends for Teaching Artists, support the ongoing implementation of The Australian Curriculum: The Arts and influence the arts in education arena more broadly.
