Teaching Artists Needed
Calling all New Orleans artists in Dance, Music, and Theater
**Calling All New Orleans Artists in Dance, Music, and Theater!**
Upturn Arts is seeking passionate performing arts educators for seasonal teaching opportunities at our Uptown location. We are specifically looking for:
**Performing and Visual Artists**: Artists interested in paid opportunities during school breaks and summer. (No teaching experience required; we provide training.)
**Emerging Artists or College Students**: Individuals eager to share their skills with young artists aged 4-12 in a paid teaching role.
**Professional Working Artists**: Those who want to give back as part-time seasonal teachers to NOLA youth. (Your professional schedule will be considered.)
**Community Artists**: Individuals interested in learning about the art of teaching and the philosophies behind the Upturn Arts curriculum.
**Active Experts in Artistic Fields**: Those without teaching experience but eager to learn how to teach.
We are currently hiring staff for holiday camps and various workshops throughout the 2024-2025 school year. If you think you might be a good fit, please apply! Seasonal teaching artists are hired based on availability and skill set, and teaching opportunities vary from month to month. Interested candidates will also have priority for our extensive summer camp program.
All Upturn Arts-trained teachers start at a teaching rate of $30-$35/hr. After completing your first contract, you will be placed on our progressive teaching ladder, with opportunities for rate increases based on continued service, professional development training, and participation in other Upturn Arts events.
At Upturn Arts, we specialize in delivering high-quality arts programming to New Orleans youth year-round. Through holiday and summer camps, out of school programs, and additional workshops, we provide enriching experiences for children ages 4 to 12 in a fun, safe environment, regardless of income or ability. This summer, 73% of our families received financial aid. We truly believe in “Arts for All!”
