The Center for Arts-Inspired Learning (formerly Young Audiences) seeks
project proposals from teaching artists who wish to participate in the
ArtWorks Afterschool Spring 2014 program. Artworks Afterschool is an
arts-based job-training program for area high school students designed to
develop 21st Century skills for the workplace through apprenticeships in
the arts.  Selected artists will work with diverse populations of young
people with a broad range of artistic experience. Teaching artists create a
learning environment where apprentices sharpen skills in time and project
management, collaboration, professional communication, problem solving, and
critical thinking. Apprentices are guided through the process of creating
their own original art as they gain real-world project experience.
Apprentice work is showcased at a culminating event/exhibition open to the
public. *Proposals from artists of all visual art disciplines will be
considered*.

*Where and when will ArtWorks take place?
*
*ArtWorks will take place at the Halle Building, 1228 Euclid Avenue,
downtown Cleveland.  The program will operate January 28 through April 10,
two days per week (Tuesdays & Thursdays) from 4:30-7:30PM. Occasional
Saturdays may be required for special events.  ArtWorks teaching artists
will be involved in the selection of prospective ArtWorks apprentices
by interviewing
applicants from 3:00 – 6:00pm, December 16 & 17, 2013. Willingness to
participate in the interview process is encouraged and highly preferred.
The master teaching artist orientation will be Tuesday December 3 from
noon-2pm, and will take place at the Center for Arts-Inspired Learning
Offices at Shaker Square.*
*What would my role be?
*

Teaching artists mentor 8-10 student apprentices, in groups called co-ops,
to impart 21st Century work & life skills including critical thinking,
problem solving, collaboration, goal/project/time management, personal
responsibility, group leadership, professional communication, and
adaptability to change. Artists are required to aid apprentices in
developing documentation of apprentice’s work. This may consist of
pictures, video, CD/DVD, etc. Teaching artists and apprentices should
encourage the public to observe and interact with apprentices at work. At
least one public performance/exhibition of apprentice work will take place
at the end of the program. Collaboration across art disciplines is an
essential component of the experience. Teaching artists will complete a
formal evaluation of apprentices at the mid-point and end of the program
providing feedback to apprentices on their development as an apprentice
artist and employee. Both artists and apprentices are paid.  Artists work
as independent contractors while apprentices are hired as temporary
employees. Artists receive $50 per working hour while the program operates
(Jan 28-April 10). Please note: teaching artists will not be compensated
for their time during the apprentice interview sessions, or teaching artist
orientation.
