In 2017 Tammeron was awarded an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.in.gov\/arts\/\">Indiana Arts Commission<\/a> (IAC), Arts in the Parks grant to teach <em>en plein air<\/em> drawing at Pokagon State Park in Steuben County, Indiana. The program was called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/drawingonpokagon\/videos\/?ref=page_internal\">Drawing on the Seasons of Pokagon<\/a>. That same year Anna taught a clay workshop to families in Velingrad, Bulgaria with the support of the Velingrad History Museum. In 2018 Tammeron was awarded a second grant to teach drawing at Pokagon State Park. In 2019 Tammeron and Anna Popova with Shirley Brauker (of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moonbearpottery.com\">Moon Bear Pottery<\/a>) were awarded a grant to teach ceramic projects at Pokagon State Park by the IAC through their Arts in the Parks program. <a href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/Pokagon-State-Park-Clay-Workshop-2321157178130694\/?paipv=1\">Understanding Pokagon Through Clay<\/a> involved five projects in five sessions along with a final follow up discussion and distribution of participant projects just out of the kiln. We were awarded a grant for a second clay workshop in 2020 called the Pokagon Clay Workshop but the project was canceled due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Workshops For Older (60 +)Adults:<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Tammeron was one of 22 cohorts<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">selected for<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>training<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">by the IAC<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifetimearts.org\/\">Lifetime Arts<\/a>\u00a0and the Indiana Arts Commission,<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Lifelong Arts<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>to teach arts to older adults.<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Funding for a teaching, fellowship, project was also provided.
