Call for Teaching Artist

The Wende Museum is seeking a dynamic and innovative teaching artist to facilitate a multi-workshop arts project for high school students of the Wende Teen Council during the 2024-25 school year.

Teaching artists are invited to propose a collaborative project in which students learn multidisciplinary creative skills and apply digital and/or material assets from the Wende Museum Collection and current exhibitions into their works.

Project workshops will be facilitated primarily on-site at the Wende Museum between November 2024 and May 2025, and proposed workshops can encompass up to six to ten two-hour sessions. Final presentation of the completed projects will take place at the Wende Teen Night in May 2025.

Candidates will be considered based on the artistic merit and institutional fit of their proposal and demonstrated experience in arts education, especially with high school-age students.

The Museum offers a fee of $1,500, plus the cost of all project supplies.

To apply, please submit a brief concept proposal (no more than two pages), budget, and CV to Head of Education Michael Balot-Garza at education@wendemuseum.org. Questions are also welcome–please direct any inquiries to the same contact.

Applications are due August 31st, 2024.
