Teaching Artists Positions

Upturn Arts are looking for visual and performing arts educators, specifically dance, theater, and music fundamentals, for exciting opportunities in our main studio space and off-site school and community partnerships. We are looking for the following candidates:

• • Emerging artists in school looking for opportunities to teach their skills to fellow young artists.
  • Professional working artists who want to give back as part-time teachers to New Orleans youth.
  • Active experts in an artistic field who aspire to teach young artists.

Our primary staffing needs are for our summer camps, with additional ongoing opportunities for holiday camps, after-school classes, or day-long workshops throughout the year.

All Upturn Arts teachers who complete our onboarding and training program get paid $25-$35 per hour, depending on experience. After completing your first contract, you can participate in our progressive teaching ladder with opportunities for continued teaching service, professional development training, and participation in other Upturn Arts events.

Upturn Arts delivers high-quality arts education and enrichment programming to New Orleans youth year-round. We always look for fresh faces to give our young artists new experiences in developing their confidence and creative expression.
