The City of Palo Alto's Children's Fine Arts Program is looking for
amazing and accomplished artists who are experienced teaching kids to
lead week-long art workshops for us next summer. Summer here is big fun.

In our recent history, we have offered summer workshops in environmental
art, circus skills, Fillipino village folk arts, figure sculpture,
vehicles, sound design, computer animation and a host of other inovative
titles.  Our summer intensives and minicamps almost always fill, and
many have long wait lists.  The pay is $25.00 per hour, plus ten minutes
of prep time per class which works out to a little over four dollars
extra per class.

Our workshops for younger kids are called minicamps. Minicamps are
scheduled as week-long classes, 2.5 hours in length, Monday through
Friday.  If the morning class (9:30 AM to noon) is for young kids (age
5-7) then the afternoon class (1:00 PM to 3:30 PM) will be for older
kids (age 8-14). We have an aide to help, and can get volunteers as
well. Class sizes will be no larger than twelve kids.

Our workshops for older kids are called intensives. Intensives run
Monday through Friday and are usually three hours.  We have more
flexibility with class length and age group. Half of our intensives are
computer-based art.

If you are interested in teaching for us next summer, please respond by
the deadline: November 24th. Make sure that you will be able to honor
your commitment next summer before you submit a proposal. Let me know
which weeks you are available. Submit brief course proposals. If you
have never taught for us before, please submit a resume showing teaching
experience, art experience, and three references that we can call.

We will also be running our regular weekly classes in the summer. We
will plan those next year.

Feel free to call me with questions or to brainstorm. Thanks for your
help in putting together another dynamite summer program!
