Arts Education

"I appreciate that Children's Museum of the Arts hosts residents as artists AND teachers. It’s rare and important and gets us out of the pernicious cultural habit that we must be either this or that."

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.

Teaching

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.

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

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.
