After School Art Teaching Artist
Make Art. Make a Mess. Make an Impact.

The Randolph County Arts Center is looking for a creative, enthusiastic, and dependable Teaching Artist to lead our After School Art (ASA) Program! ASA gives students a chance to step outside the traditional classroom to create, experiment, get messy, and have fun with art. We’re looking for someone who can bring their own creativity and energy to the classroom while helping students discover what they can make and do. You’ll have the freedom to develop engaging, age-appropriate projects using a variety of art forms such as painting, pottery, drawing, mixed media, sculpture, crafts, and whatever creative ideas you bring to the table. No two classes have to look the same!

What You’ll Do

  • Lead engaging, hands-on art projects for students in a fun and supportive classroom environment

  • Design and organize creative, age-appropriate art projects

  • Encourage students to explore, experiment, problem-solve, and express themselves through art

  • Provide guidance and assistance while allowing students to develop their own ideas and creativity

  • Create a positive classroom environment using encouragement and appropriate classroom management

  • Help students with classroom setup, organization, and cleanup

  • Collaborate with the Arts Center to provide a safe, welcoming, and enriching experience for every student

What We’re Looking For

  • A genuine passion for art and working with children

  • Experience working with students and/or families

  • A background, education, or demonstrated experience in the arts

  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills

  • Creativity, enthusiasm, patience, and a good sense of fun

  • Reliability, consistency, and punctuality

  • Ability to independently plan and lead a classroom activity

  • Ability to create a classroom where students feel encouraged, included, and excited to participate
