    Hi network! I just learned that where I've been teaching has lost its funding. If anyone knows of any part-time teaching artist opportunities in the nyc area, please contact me. I've worked with children through adults teaching theatre.

    Hello Shara! I don't know of any specific jobs available right now, but I do have some resources you could check.

    Art Search http://www.tcg.org/artsearch/
    Art Job https://www.artjob.org/

    When I worked as a teaching artist, most of my jobs were obtained through shameless self promotion :) I emailed local community theatre groups, children's theatres, elementary schools, the YMCA, etc. to find out if they had an existing education program or if they were interested in starting one, either after school, on the weekends, or just during the summer. I told them the types of classes I could teach and provided a copy of my resume. Education programs can be a big source of income for community theatres, but it can also be a big undertaking. I found it fairly easy for me to find regular work, especially in the summer, because I was willing to manage the task for them. Hope that helps! Best of luck in your search!!
