From the West Windsor Arts Council:

Request for Proposals: Teaching Artists / Arts Teachers

The West Windsor Arts Council will open the West Windsor Arts Center in the historic Alexander Road firehouse in early 2010. The arts center will house a performance space and a classroom space. In an effort to introduce the community to the types of classes that we will hold in the new arts center, we will be offering weekend workshops for adults and children beginning in late October, 2009 at the newly expanded Senior Center.


We are looking for talented and experienced teaching artists and arts teachers to kick-off this new endeavor. We are now prioritizing proposals for workshops that can be completed in one or two days (or a portion thereof). We are particularly interested in artists /teachers who may want to offer more extensive classes in the future, but can give us a taste of their work through a shorter workshop or workshops. This is a great opportunity for the members of the community and the arts council to get to see you in action and get a sense of what will be offered in the new space next year.


If you are interested in applying to present a workshop through the West Windsor Arts Council, please send the following information to Arts Classes, West Windsor Arts Council, PO Box 952, West Windsor, NJ 08850 orExDir@WestWindsorArts.org by August 31, 2009.


Ø Current resumé with a focus on your teaching experience

Ø Written proposal (1-2 pages) including the targeted age group of participants, length of workshop, materials or supplies needed (and cost), and specific space or technical needs

Ø Additional materials as appropriate including work samples, documentation, or publicity. If you wish these materials to be returned, please include a self-addressed stamped envelope.
