2024 TEACHER OF THE YEAR
Priscilla Eichler was named the MACC’s first-ever Teacher of the Year. A veteran educator who holds three degrees from Vanderbilt University, Eichler is without question the MACC’s most experienced, dedicated and enthusiastic teacher. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that her students range in age from 5 to 90! She is involved in every aspect of our arts education programming. She teaches acrylic painting to seniors, and mixed media to children in the MACC’s Arts After School program. During the summer, she teaches a popular ARTopia class. Appropriately enough, Eichler’s Teacher of the Year Award trophy was created in the form of a butterfly. This beautiful award was handmade by Nashville-based metal sculptor (and MACC healing arts facilitator) Valentine Adams. The award now resides in an honored space on Eichler’s home mantel, resting comfortably next to the family’s Beethoven action figure. 21
