WHO SHOULD APPLY
Working artists who teach, at every stage and every path. Classroom experience is welcome; command of your technique is the requirement. 6311arts is committed to a community where every race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and gender identity belongs — and a particular welcome to artists whose identities have too often been pushed to the margins.
TO APPLY
Email gallery.mgr@6311arts.com with photos or a link to your work. Include a brief description on what you'd teach. Proposals are reviewed on a rolling basis.
