Job description

Looking for a job where you can inspire the next generation of artists while doing what you love? If you're an artist with a passion for teaching kids, this could be the perfect creative opportunity for you. 
Join Kidcreate Studio today in our mission to introduce children to the wonderful world of art!
Here's the Lowdown

Are you passionate about helping kids become real artists—not just creating fun projects, but building the skills and confidence they'll use for years to come?
Kidcreate Academy is our progressive fine arts program designed for young artists who are ready to take their creativity to the next level. Unlike our traditional Kidcreate classes, Kidcreate Academy follows a structured curriculum that teaches foundational art skills through step-by-step instruction, allowing students to grow their artistic abilities over time.
If you love teaching, have strong artistic skills, and enjoy helping children master new techniques in a fun, encouraging environment, we'd love to meet you.
  • This is a part-time position with classes typically offered during afternoons, evenings, weekends, school breaks, and summer.
  • Paid time includes prep time, classroom setup, instruction, and clean-up.
  • All curriculum, lesson plans, and art supplies are provided—no lesson planning required.
  • This role focuses on teaching artistic techniques and skill progression, making it different from our traditional Kidcreate Studio classes, which focus more on exploration and process art.
  • You'll work with students who are eager to grow their artistic abilities in a supportive, encouraging environment.
What You'll Do

  • Teach structured, step-by-step lessons using the Kidcreate Academy curriculum.
  • Demonstrate drawing, painting, color theory, composition, and other foundational art techniques.
  • Help students build artistic skills progressively while encouraging creativity and self-expression.
  • Break complex concepts into simple, teachable steps that children can understand and apply.
  • Provide positive, constructive feedback that helps students improve while building confidence.
  • Foster a welcoming classroom environment where every student feels encouraged to learn and grow.
  • Manage classroom behavior while maintaining a fun, engaging learning experience.
  • Prepare materials, set up the classroom, and clean up after each class.
  • Communicate professionally with parents, students, and fellow team members.
  • Represent Kidcreate Academy and Kidcreate Studio with professionalism, enthusiasm, and positivity.
We're Looking for Someone Who...

  • Has strong foundational art skills and enjoys teaching those skills to children.
  • Understands basic drawing, line, shape, form, shading, painting techniques, color theory, and composition.
  • Can demonstrate techniques clearly and confidently.
  • Knows how to break artistic concepts into manageable, age-appropriate lessons.
  • Provides encouraging, constructive feedback that helps students grow.
  • Has classroom management experience and is comfortable leading groups of children.
  • Can teach technique and artistic progression—not just complete art projects.
  • Can work independently while also being an outstanding team player.
  • Thrives in a structured, fast-paced, and creative environment.
  • Has excellent attention to detail and strong organizational skills.
  • Is patient, enthusiastic, dependable, and encouraging.
  • Loves working with kids and believes creativity should be celebrated.
  • Is comfortable standing throughout class and assisting students as needed.
  • Is excited to help young artists develop confidence and lifelong artistic skills.
Preferred Qualifications

  • Degree or coursework in Art Education, Fine Arts, Graphic Design, Illustration, or a related creative field.
  • Certified PK–12 Art Teacher.
  • Graduate student in Art Education, Education, Fine Arts, or Creative Arts Therapy.
  • Experience as a private art instructor or tutor.
  • Experience teaching in museums, community arts programs, after-school enrichment, or summer camps.
  • Experience teaching mixed-age groups.
  • Strong classroom management and group facilitation skills.
Portfolio Requirement

To be considered for this position, applicants must submit either:

  • A PDF portfolio containing 5–10 original works, or
  • A portfolio website
Your portfolio should demonstrate proficiency in:

  • Drawing (line, shape, form, shading)
  • Painting
  • Color theory and color mixing
  • Composition
  • Overall artistic ability
Here's What You Get

  • Paid training.
  • Paid prep time, setup, teaching time, and clean-up.
  • All curriculum, lesson plans, and art supplies provided.
  • Flexible part-time scheduling.
  • Employee discounts on retail items.
  • Discounts on classes, camps, and birthday parties for family members.
  • Opportunities for professional growth within Kidcreate Studio.
  • The chance to make a lasting impact on young artists while doing what you love.
Who Thrives in This Role?

This position is ideal for certified art teachers, Art Education majors, Fine Arts graduates, graduate students, private art tutors, teaching artists, museum educators, illustrators, graphic designers, and artists who love sharing their knowledge with the next generation.
Unlike our traditional Children's Art Instructor role, Kidcreate Academy instructors focus on developing artistic technique and long-term skill progression, not simply completing fun art projects. If you're energized by helping students master new skills, watching their confidence grow, and building a strong artistic foundation one lesson at a time, you'll thrive here.
If you believe every child has the potential to become an artist with the right guidance, encouragement, and instruction, we'd love to meet you.
