About ITAC & Our Aims
The International Teaching Artists Collaborative (ITAC) registered as a SCIO in 2019, in response to the appetite created by ITAC’s previous biennial international conferences and experimental pilot year. We are the first international network created by and for teaching artists, and artists who work in participatory settings, to develop their practice, create connections and develop our field.
The first of our groundbreaking ITAC Conferences took place in Norway in 2012, instigated by Eric Booth and Marit Ulvund through SEANSE Art Center. Following its success and the needs expressed by the teaching artist delegates from 26 countries, the organisers made a commitment to hold a biennial international conference focussing on the work of teaching artists. The second ITAC was held in Brisbane in 2014, the third in Edinburgh in 2016, the fourth in New York in 2018 and the fifth took place digitally led via Seoul in 2020. ITAC6 was hosted in Oslo in September 2022, and ITAC7 is now set to take place in Auckland in 2024. The biennial event aims to be a dynamic platform for:
-
sharing practice, learning and research in the field of participatory arts
-
showcasing best and next practice for the host and visiting nations, while advancing the priorities of the host country for their national field
-
generating new connections and building a palpable energy towards an international community
The Collaborative is designed to keep the activities and connections of our emerging sector between conferences. It undertakes the work to build resources, increase visibility, encourage partnership projects and lay a foundational community which drives progress for the field.
The ITAC Vision Is…
A world where teaching artists are working in the heart of learning and communities, making a positive impact with the transformative power of Teaching Artistry.
The ITAC Mission is…
To support, expand and connect the international community of teaching artists and collaborators, cultivate excellence in teaching artistry and advocate for sustainable development through participatory practice.
The ITAC Proposed Outcomes Are….
-
Improved practice
-
Better international connectivity
-
Greater understanding of practice in different countries
-
Increased opportunity for international collaboration
-
Greater understanding of the value of the practice across sectors
-

Achievements and Performance
Key achievements from August 2024 - July 2025 include:
-
Working alongside our National ITAC Hubs (England, South Korea, Norway, & USA) to establish their identity and goals as a set of internationally connected, national centres for supporting teaching artistry in their region. This is just the beginning of what we hope will be a growing effort to establish nationally-supported spaces for Teaching Artists across continents to connect and develop together year-round;
-
Delivering ITAC7 in September 2024 with the Centre for Arts and Social Transformation in The University of Auckland, New Zealand. ITAC7 welcomed more than 217 Teaching Artists, from over 26 countries, for 3 days of more than 80 artist-led experiential workshops and performances.
-
Confirming our hosts for ITAC8, which will be delivered in partnership with OPENDOEK, The Royal Conservatoire, AP University of Applied Sciences, and Arts Antwerp in August 2026.
-
Designing and launching our new purpose-built members’ platform, along with our re-designed website and organisational branding, to streamline the way in which we serve our network and advocate on their behalf.
-
Being invited to speak at key international events including
-
Healing Arts Scotland, August 2024, where ITAC coordinated a nation-wide participatory arts relay, and hosted two national conference days.
-
ITAC7, September 2024, held in Auckland New Zealand and continuing ITACs delivery of international biennial events;
-
Inner Development Goals Summit, October 2024, bringing Teaching Artistry into new sectors and events;

-
Partnering with the Inner Development Goals to serve as Artistic Director for their international Summit. We worked alongside the movement, including key partners like the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and Climate KIC, to embed Teaching Artistry and creative engagement throughout the event, bringing members from our network in to deliver workshops and performances which can underpin and enhance key learnings and objectives; https://innerdevelopmentgoals.org/
-
Developing and delivering Round 4 of EDEN Engagement across Asia, Europe and Latin America in partnership with Joyce DiDonato and Askonas Holt. This is ITACs pilot framework to embed community engagement work in a traditional arts touring model. We partnered with opera singer and activist Joyce Di Donato on her EDEN tour, to hire a Teaching Artist in every city who would work with local community choirs on creative and environmental workshops ahead of each concert. These choirs then join Joyce on stage to sing their collaboration. Each workshop also culminates in a new curriculum being published which is freely available and replicable for other Teaching Artists who wish to undertake similar work in their own communities. https://www.itac-collaborative.com/projects/eden-engagement
All of these activities have helped us advance in our mission of connecting and advancing the field of teaching artistry internationally.

Financial Review
Income in 2024-25 was £47,985 (2023-24: £219,328), with an overall deficit of £151,499 (2023-24: surplus of £13,359) for the year. At the end of the financial period the fund balance was £92,842 (2024: 244,341) of which £75,957 (2024: £99,800) was unrestricted in nature.
Investment Policy & Performance
Available funds are held in an interest-bearing current account to meet the cashflow needs of the organisation. There are no investments at present.
Risk Management
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and believe they have systems in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Reserves Policy and Going Concern
Reserves are held in order to meet the operational costs of the charity. Unrestricted net current assets at the end of the period were £75,957 (2024: £99,800). Sufficient funds are available to meet expenditure as it falls due and thus the Trustees consider the charity to be a going concern.
Plans for the future
Looking ahead to 2025 - 2026, ITAC plans to grow and strengthen the ways in which we serve the Teaching Artist community around the world.
We aim to expand our pioneering work bringing Teaching Artistry and the power of our practice into new spaces, and establish strong cross-sector relationships. Growing our relationships with non-arts communities, and thereby strengthening the ability of our membership to thrive in non-traditional settings, remains a top priority for the coming year. ITAC will serve as a global bridge, connecting best practices from artists dedicated to social transformation, to academic and financial partners. ITAC sees itself closing this critical gap by fostering organic connections between these spheres, driving innovation and social impact on a global scale.
In our planning for taking our work towards sustainable growth, we will continue to focus our efforts on developing partnerships and platforms which can attract more ongoing support for our core work and building our infrastructure. With this in mind, we will continue to grow our new membership management system, enhancing our members’ experience of ITAC, encouraging annual donations, offering a centralised platform for Teaching Artist resources from around the world, and fostering greater engagement among members. This represents a significant step forward for ITAC in supporting our ongoing growth in a manageable way.
We will continue to work alongside our Hubs to support their goals, and create joined up activity which can enhance the support ITAC offers Teaching Artists in their regions. We aim to grow this initial cohort and welcome additional new Hubs on board in the coming year.
We remain focused on our vision and mission, and will seek to deepen the ways in which ITAC strives to achieve them.

Trustees' Responsibilities in Relation to the Financial Statements
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees' annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in Scotland requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the method and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operational existence.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). They are also responsible for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions,

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of International Teaching Artists Collaborative (ITAC)
I report on the accounts of the charity for the period ended 31 July 2025, set out on pages 7 to 12.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (a) to (c) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
1.
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations (as amended), and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations (as amended) have not been met, or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

International Teaching Artists Collaborative (ITAC) Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2025
Page 9.
1. Accounting Policies
Basis of preparation
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
Going Concern
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Trustees have assessed the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern and have reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. There are funds currently available to meet all liabilities when they become due and if there are any changes in position the Trustees will make the necessary adjustments to service provision and staffing. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these accounts.
Fixed Assets
There are currently no fixed assets. The charity has a policy not to capitalise items under £1,000.
Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Interest Receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Donations and grants
Donations, grants, legacies and similar income, including related recoverable Gift Aid tax, are recognised as income when it is clear that the Charity is entitled to the income, it is virtually certain that it will be received and when its monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donated Services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with Charities SORP (FRS102) general volunteer time is not recognised. On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised as expenditure in the period of receipt.
Expenditure recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings.

International Teaching Artists Collaborative (ITAC) Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2025
1. Accounting Policies (Continued)
Taxation
The Charity is not registered for VAT and accordingly expenditure includes irrecoverable input VAT where appropriate. The organisation is recognised as a charity by HM Revenue and Customs. Accordingly, no provision is made for taxation liabilities.
Fund accounting
Funds are classified as either restricted or unrestricted funds, defined as follows.
Restricted funds are funds subject to specific requirements as to their use which may be declared by the donor or with their authority or created through legal processes, but still within the wider objects of the charity.
Unrestricted funds are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. If parts of the unrestricted funds are earmarked at the discretion of the trustees for a particular purpose, they are designated as a separate fund. This designation has an administrative purpose only and does not legally restrict the trustees' discretion to apply the fund.
2. Trustee Remuneration and Related Party Transactions
During the year no trustees were reimbursed for administrative expenditure incurred on behalf of the charity (2024: no trustees). Travel and honoraria for attendance at an event were paid to two trustees in their capacity as Artists totalling £3,962 (2024: no trustees). Apart from this no trustees or persons related to as trustee had a personal interest in any contract or transactions entered into by the charity in the year. During the year a total of £1,552 (2024: £2,700) was donated to the charity by trustees.
