How to apply to teach a course at the Pontiac School of the Arts

STEP 1

Welcome to the first steps of planning for our 2010 summer session of The Pontiac School of the Arts. PSOTA is looking for instructors to offer courses in arts and crafts.

1. ½ day courses to children aged 8-13 in our Young Artists’ Workshop program (YAWS)
2.  1, 2, 3 or 4 day courses to adults (can start at age 14 )

Courses can be offered in English, French or both. If you wish to teach more than one course please provide a separate reply for each.

Courses will be scheduled on weekdays and weekends July 2 – Aug. 2, 2010, at the Stone School, 28 Mill Street in Portage-du-Fort. Acceptance of your course will be up to the decision of the organizing committee for PSOTA.

If you are interested in giving a course please send us the following basic information in either French or English. (At a later date (STEP 2) we will ask for full course descriptions, materials lists, translations etc.)
Please send your reply by email if possible as a word document or in the body of the email giving your answers in a numbered list following the numbered questions below.

1. Contact Information: Name, mailing address, email, web site if applicable and phone number(s).
2. The age range for your course. Example: children 8-13 years (YAWS), adults 16+, etc.
3. A short description of your course with title, brief outline and # days. Example: Drawing: basic drawing techniques for beginners, 2 days.
4. Please indicate level of experience required (beginner, intermediate, advanced) or if this is a repeat or a continuation of a course you have taught previously at PSOTA.
5. Will you supply materials to students at cost or will they need to purchase them independently? Please indicate approximate costs.
6. Do you prefer that your course be held on a weekday or a weekend?

 

TO BE CONSIDERED FOR TEACHING A COURSE WE MUST RECEIVE THIS BASIC INFORMATION BY
FRIDAY, DEC. 11TH, 2009.

 

Please send your reply by email to: teach@pontiacschoolofthearts.com
Or by post to The Pontiac School of the Arts, Box 1063, Shawville, Qc., J0X 2Y0

Or call 819-648-2441

Please note that if your course is accepted we will be asking you to sign a contract committing to the dates and times assigned for your course before the brochure is printed in March 2010. Agreement to teach a course also includes agreement to participate in an exhibition held each April at Café 349 Gallery in Shawville, Quebec. For this exhibition we ask only that you provide us with a sample or 2 of the kind of work you or your students can expect to do. You will also be expected to participate in an exhibition of all instructors work held at the Stone School Gallery (home of the art school) in Portage-du-Fort opening on June 25 and running until August 2 during the art school. Participation will entail submitting pieces of your work for exhibition and sale and participation in the opening vernissage to be held June 25. We have found that both of these exhibitions are great promotional opportunities for your courses. People from out of town can make special arrangements for participation. More information will be available later.
