The Creation District is inviting you to join in igniting passion and belief in change into the lives of youth and young adults in Sacramento. We are seeking Creation District Resident Artists to serve as STUDIO LEADS in our dynamic arts, music, and movement studio. Studio Leads will be tasked with holding down our open studio space, bringing in dynamic and hands-on projects each session, and actively engaging and building relationships with our young artists. The Creation District studio provides creative access to youth and young adults (ages 16 - 24) experiencing homelessness and/or economic instability. Open Studio hours will take place weekdays between 9AM and 4PM at the Creation District Studio, located at 1219 S Street, Sacramento 95811.
All youth need an opportunity to experiment with the world around them to ignite their passions. The first time you play a chord on the guitar, lace up a pair of ballet shoes, mix a beat, splatter a blank canvas in paint, dig your hands into clay—these are experiences all youth deserve to have, but are all too often out of reach to youth experiencing homelessness and economic instability.
The Creation District is about providing teens and young adults with the tools they need to dive head first into the world of creation and artistic abandon. We have the supplies, the studio space, and the youth --we just need YOU to share your passion and teach what you love.
As a Studio Lead, you will be responsible for bringing the party and energy to the studio each day. This means that you show up to each session with a vibrant and hands-on project in the medium of your choice, take the time to get to know our young artists, and help create and maintain a playful and creative environment in our Creation District studio.
In addition to the reward of getting to share what you love while building relationships with a community of youth bursting at the seams with talent to share, love to offer, and wisdom to learn from, there are a few perks to working as a Creation District Studio Leads. The Creation District is able to offer sliding scale payment to workshop leaders depending on experience teaching, experience in your craft, and experience working with youth from underprivileged demographics. While teaching as a Studio Lead, you will have the opportunity to network with a multitude of nonprofit services working in housing, mental health, education, medical, and more. Join a team of hard working social workers eager to build a better world for Sacramento’s youth experiencing homelessness. Create real change in the world by serving as a creative mentor to youth who have lacked access to the arts and quality education. Get back in touch with your own creative roots by committing to quality time nurturing and teaching your passion.
