Becoming a Teaching Artist AT POWRPLNT
POWRPLNT collaborates with volunteer teaching artists to create interest-driven classes in digital art programs and other topics surrounding art and technology that reflect our mission. We aim to connect artists with future creators and focus on introductory, free and donation based courses at our space and via Zoom.
If you are an artist with a digital or technology-based practice and are passionate about bringing access to quality technology education to all, we encourage you to reach out to us at communications@powrplnt.org or apply below to teach a workshop with POWRPLNT.
About THE TEACHING ARTIST EXPERIENCE
What POWRPLNT asks from our Teaching Artists:
Skills and expertise in any range of digital or technology-based art;
Commitment to our Educational Values of equity, access, and creativity;
What Teaching Artists can expect from POWRPLNT:
A supportive environment where you’ll learn tangible, effective teaching strategies and gain experience as a Teaching Artist;
A space to connect with other artists and engage with the wider Brooklyn community of people interested in technology and art;
A chance to provide valuable and engaging workshops to groups often excluded from technology and art spaces, and thereby help close the access gap in these fields
We are looking to our community of artists, activists, musicians, and creators for answers. Do you have any ideas, talks, or skills-based class proposals that you want to workshop with the POWRPLNT community? ISO workshops on staying digitally secure, lectures about social movements online, creative coding workshops, world-building exercises using technology, music creation, photography, mixed media and more! Send us your ideas!
