Looking for Art Instructors!
Open Arts Studio is a fun, welcoming, and vibrant art studio located in Tacoma’s historic Stadium District. As a school of the arts, we teach both traditional and modern fine art techniques in a safe, supportive, and non-competitive environment.
Our goal is to give students the skills, confidence, and freedom to explore their creativity and develop their own artistic voice. Our teaching philosophy is built around three fundamental elements: technique, creativity, and fun. We believe these three elements are essential for building confidence and encouraging self-expression.
We are currently seeking passionate, creative, and engaging art instructors to join our teaching team. Our adult classes welcome students with a range of experience levels, from beginners to intermediate and advanced artists.
Students range from beginners to intermediate artists, so the ability to teach foundational skills while also helping more experienced students develop their techniques is important.
All of our classes run for 6 weeks, meeting once a week for 2 hours.
