ART 180 is always looking for new artists interested in being part of the work we do in our collective. Artists can work as teaching artists leading one of our youth art experiences–workshops, artist studios, or residencies–or by being a participating artist in one of our public art events–The Easel, Atlas Holiday Market, or First Friday exhibitions.

 

Teaching artists are hired to either lead or assist in one of our creative youth programs and are compensated for time spent training, planning, in the classroom, and fun events.

Teaching artists develop and implement curriculum to inspire and challenge youth, encouraging each participant to learn and grow. Artists without experience in teaching or leading groups of young people can also apply to work as a teaching assistant. Assistants provide support for a weekly set of structured art activities as defined by the teaching artist. The most successful programs are those where teaching artists are consistent, enthusiastic and deeply passionate about youth, art, and the Richmond community.
