Call for Teaching Artists

Think 360 Arts maintains an Online Roster of Teaching Artists available on their website as a resource for schools, community organizations, and individuals interested in arts integration programs for school-age students. Featured artists live in Colorado and are passionate about sharing their art and working with students in pre-K through higher education. The roster is organized by discipline and by program type.

Once accepted to the roster, teaching artists become independent contractors of Think 360 Arts and are eligible to work in schools and other educational settings, although there is no guarantee of work. Think 360 Arts reserves the right to determine an artist's ongoing inclusion in the directory based on work history and evaluations. New roster artists are expected to participate in professional development trainings on topics relevant to working in educational settings.

Artists are reviewed for both artistic quality and educational appropriateness. Each applicant may submit only one application, and there are a limited number of openings in each discipline. The selection process includes two reviews: First, a panel review of artistic quality and creative ability based on submitted work (digital portfolio or video audition). Second, an in-person interview assessing appropriateness for educational settings, including questions about artistic process, experience working with students, and ideas for innovative workshops connecting to content areas such as literacy, social studies, and science. Submission requirements include a digital portfolio or video audition link, personal statement, resume or CV, two letters of support, and a $35 non-refundable application fee. Completed applications are reviewed on a rolling basis in August, November, and February.
