Job Description

We are currently recruiting for Art Teachers for our adult students for Weekdays and Saturdays in our Larchmont school location.

We need a Studio Art teacher with experience teaching advanced and beginner adult art students.


Our Adult Students choose between a guided project class in which One River provides all the curriculum, or an open studio format where the teacher assists the students in creating art work that is student driven. In both cases a wide variety of mediums and techniques are used. We need teachers to be comfortable delivering our proprietary curriculum to adults. This involves following pre-written lesson plans and adhering to specific learning goals and timelines.

Our curriculum is created centrally so there is minimal prep required and all tools, equipment and supplies are provided. Our Fine Arts instructors need a strong background in visual arts - BFA or MFA preferred and at least 5 years fine art teaching experience.

Qualifications / Requirements:

  • 5 + years of experience teaching fine art classes
  • MFA or Masters In Art Education
  • Knowledge of a wide range of studio art mediums and techniques
  • Thoughtful communication skills
  • A passion for One River School's mission
  • Must live within easy commutable distance from work site location

Since 2012, One River School has embarked on a mission to "transform art education". Our company now teaches thousands of students across 15 schools in six states. We have developed a proprietary art educational system that blends a fun and interactive social dynamic, with an innovative method that focuses on contemporary art education. One River is driven to help people of all ages to develop their creative capacity as a pathway for maximizing health, happiness, professional success and personal development through all stages of life.

Our studios are state of the art and you will find that teaching at One River is a completely different experience than any other art program in the country. Each school has a unique gallery space that displays not only the work of students, but also features the work of up and coming contemporary artists.

From the moment you walk in the door you experience the excitement and vibrance of a school that captures the immediacy of the contemporary art scene.

Ideal candidates are thoughtful educators who possess a proven track record of delivering compelling, engaging and fun student centric experiences in the classroom. Ideal candidates pride themselves on being always prepared and are team players who are open to ideas and feedback and whose focus is on student development and inclusion.

Benefits:

  • Accrued Paid Sick Days
  • Non - traditional work schedule
  • Employee Referral Program
  • Participate in One River development programs to accelerate personal growth
