Teaching Artists, Art Sanctuary Saturday Academy

Posted by Art Sanctuary on October 3, 2016

Are you an artist & educator?

For the past three years, Pedalogical has worked with Art Sanctuary – a nonprofit and gallery committed to using the power of Black Art to transform individuals, create and build community, and foster cultural understanding. After teaching courses in curriculum development to their Teaching Artists since 2013, this year Pedalogical is excited to manage all school-based & after school Teaching Residencies for the organization.

As part of this work, we have the opportunity to help Art Sanctuary recruit more amazing Teaching Artists for their robust youth programming! Art Sanctuary places Teaching Artists in school-based residencies; after school programs; weekend programs; and community based organizations. Teaching Artists are supported in curriculum design, teaching, and professional development through a variety of ways, including:

• Interdisciplinary collaboration nights at the gallery
• Workshops & speaker events for working Artists
• Monthly Learning Circle for Teaching Artists*
• Teaching observations & feedback*
• Curriculum design support*

Who we’re looking for:
You are flexible, accountable, creative, and always looking to learn and grow; you are independent and also enjoy collaborating; you’re an artist who is passionate about your craft; and most of all, you’re a loving educator with a strong need to serve our city’s youth.
(Think you may be a great fit but unsure if you’re a match? Don’t be shy – reach out below.)

What you’ll do:
Based on your availability, interest, and residency openings, you will participate in one or both of our opportunities this year:

1. Alongside other Teaching Artists, be a part of the Art Sanctuary Saturday Academy at Universal Alcorn Middle Years Academy (serving students from a number of Universal elementary & middle schools) to help produce a beautiful production of the Lion King

2. Building off our work to create a vibrant and bespoke arts experience grounded in texts from the Civil Rights movement, teach in classroom & after school settings for residencies usually lasting 8-12 weeks (built around your availability).
