Education: Faculty Resources

The Minnie and Jimmy Coleman Center for Creative Studies
In the Gilbert S. Kahn Building

The Newport Art Museum seeks innovative, creative instructors who are passionate about teaching art to youth and adults. Each year we offer four sessions of ten to twelve weeks to provide opportunities for life-long learning and skill building in the arts throughout the year at the Museum’s school, the Coleman Center for Creative Studies.

The Coleman Center offers art history, business arts, calligraphy, ceramics, decorative and household arts, digital art and design, digital photography, jewelry, painting, printmaking, sculpture and more.

We are now looking ahead to Spring and Summer 2012 and invite artists to submit proposals for classes, camps, workshops, and demonstrations.

Our spring session classes will fall into the 11 weeks between Monday, April 2 and Saturday, June 16. You may propose daytime and evening classes and workshops Monday through Friday, and Saturday daytime workshops and demonstrations. Proposals for Spring 2012 are due January 15.

We are also taking proposal for 2012 Summer Art Camps, one-week programs that run on mornings and afternoons Monday to Friday between Monday, June 25 and Friday, August 24, 2012.

We look forward to receiving your proposals. Please use the form available through the link to the right of this page. The cover page of the form includes detailed information about dates and times of the various programs I mention here.

Please share this request with other artists who may be able to offer classes in new media and take advantage of open time slots in the Coleman Center studio schedules.

If you have any questions, want to bounce ideas off of us, or think you have an unusual proposal you that would like to preface with a conversation, please call us at the Coleman Center office, (401) 848-8200 ext. 7982 or 7983.

Many thanks, and Happy New Year!
