The Residency for Experimental Arts Education is designed to give artists the resources they need to catalyze systemic change to traditional approaches to arts education. Residents participate in a weekly seminar during the year in order to collaboratively research, question and reimagine arts education, while making use of a shared studio environment for open-ended creative research.
Curriculum Development
.
In concert with their seminar and studio research, Residents design and implement studio-based & online courses for children ages 6-12. These programs take the form of after-school studio sessions, week-long studio intensives, an extended summer arts program, and coursework designed for online engagement. Residents research, curricula and coursework are shared with children, artists and arts educators via The Look Make Show.
Community &
Fieldwork
.
CMA partners with community-based organizations to provide an integrated focus on arts education. Residents participate in artistic and educational professional development, and partner with various NYC institutions to create public engagement opportunities throughout the city. Previous partners include arts organizations and social justice enterprises such as the NYC Dept of Education, New York Public Library, Time Square Arts, Hellosaurus, INCLUDEnyc, David Zwirner Gallery, The Official Village Halloween Parade, the High Line, and more.

Children's Museum of the Arts organizes a panel of jurors to review submissions and ultimately select our annual class of Artists-in-Residence. These jurors are established individuals in the arts with a diverse array of skills and backgrounds.
Jurors select finalists and CMA organizes an interview phase and bases its final assessment, not on individual accomplishment, but rather on the best combinations of residents to challenge and support each other’s practices.
Schedule
.
For the duration of the residency, Artists-in-Residence are employed as full-time exempt employees of Children's Museum of the Arts, and maintain a 40 hour weekly schedule. While significant time is given over for independent studio time and research, Artists-in-Residence also work in close collaboration with administrative staff, participating in regular weekly meetings, and should anticipate dividing their time roughly between studio practice, curriculum development, and field work.
Compensation & Benefits
.
Each resident receives an annual salary of $50,000 plus benefits, and is expected to fulfill a 40-hour per week schedule. (This schedule includes independent studio time.)
International Applicants
.
Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. Children's Museum of the Arts is unable to provide sponsorship for international applicants. Applicants are expected to work on-site at our NYC location for the duration of the residency.
