Tuscarawas Arts Partnership

06/03/2026

The arts don't happen by accident: they happen because a community chooses to invest in them.

Through arts education, grants, advocacy, public programs, and creative opportunities, TAP works year-round to strengthen arts and culture across Tuscarawas County.

When you support our 2026–2027 Annual Appeal, The Arts Flow Through Us, you're helping ensure the arts remain accessible, visible, and thriving for everyone.

Americans for the Arts is gathering feedback through a short national survey that will help shape advocacy around arts education, funding, community programming, and support for creative communities across the country.

For Tuscarawas County, this matters: data and advocacy like this help strengthen grant opportunities, support local arts organizations, and demonstrate the impact the arts have on our schools, economy, and quality of life.

Our staff had an incredible time at Ohio Arts Council's biennial Arts Impact Ohio! See if you can spot them in these pictures.

We can't thank Ohio Arts Council enough, not only for organizing this event, but for everything they do for the arts throughout the state of Ohio. TAP's work would not be possible without their support, namely their Sustainability Grant.

Arts Signing Day 2026 was an incredible celebration of both our ten students continuing their journeys in the arts beyond high school and our largest group of Arts Educator of the Year nominees yet (18 educators across 9 school districts).

Congratulations to this year’s TAP Emerging Artist Scholarship recipients, Melody Sprowl and Brennen Hostetler.

This year’s Arts Educator of the Year is Micah Carrick of Dover City Schools. This recognition was shared in a truly special way, surprising him during the spring middle school band concert in front of students, families, and colleagues.

Thank you to our event sponsors, the Ohio Star Theater at Dutch Valley and Freeport Press, and to our venue sponsor, the Performing Arts Center at Kent State Tuscarawas. And, a special thank you to our keynote speaker, Sarah Spies of the United Way of Tuscarawas County, Inc..
