The Artists-in-Schools Program at The Print Center Hiring Teaching Artists

The Artists-in-Schools Program at The Print Center is currently hiring Teaching-Artists for Fall 2016 and Spring 2017.

Now in its fifteenth year, the Artists-in-Schools Program (AISP) is The Print Center’s award winning visual arts youth educational program with an established reputation for its innovative structured, yet flexible, curriculum model and capacity to deliver high quality arts instruction. AISP offers completely self-contained year-long classes providing artist-educators, curricula, all course materials and field trips to students in Philadelphia public high schools. Classes meet twice weekly for ten weeks per semester, to supplement and enhance existing art education programs in participating schools. Curricula are based on exhibitions at The Print Center and include instruction in contemporary art and theory to provide a framework on which to learn the essentials of photography and printmaking using a wide range of tools and techniques. Artwork produced in the residencies is featured on The Print Center's website.

The Print Center, a nonprofit organization located in Philadelphia’s historical Rittenhouse Square neighborhood, encourages the growth and understanding of photography and printmaking as vital contemporary arts through exhibitions, publications and educational programs. The Print Center is a locally, nationally and internationally significant gallery, as well as a significant community art and advocacy organization with an international outlook and a strong sense of local purposed. Founded in 1915, its mission is unique in its dedication to printmaking and photography.

Teaching-Artists are key team members for the Art-In-Schools Program and are responsible for planning and running residencies in the classrooms of Philadelphia high school partners. Reporting to the AISP Coordinator, Teaching-Artists adapt curricula for use in individual classes and oversee the creation of both individual and group student projects. This is an excellent opportunity to work with a committed and ambitious team.
