Calling All Art Instructors!

The Watauga Arts Council is looking for passionate, creative instructors to join our teaching team in 2026! We’re especially seeking artists interested in leading drawing, painting, and foundational art classes, including fundamental skills such as anatomy drawing.

Instructors for both youth and adult classes are encouraged to apply, regardless of experience level. We work together to determine your class schedule, fees, and supply coverage, ensuring your experience is both rewarding and sustainable.

If you’re interested, please submit an Instructor Application, and we’ll follow up with the next steps if we’re a good fit!

Let’s make 2026 a year full of creativity, learning, and connection!
