We’re hiring teaching artists for The Residency!

Arts Corps

Program Description

The Residency breaks down the barriers of access to equitable arts experiences for underserved teens in the Seattle region in order to build their skills in collaboration, self-expression, technical acumen, leadership identity, and confidence as cultural change-makers. The intensive residency will serve 45 emerging artists through two tracks over four weeks. The Vocal Track will  foster self-expression through lyricism, rhyme structure, and delivery and the Production Track will emphasize audio engineering, beat-making, and song construction. Following the Residency, youth will participate in four monthly 3-hour cyphers (from September through December) as a way to advance their collaborative learning, workshop ideas with their cohort artists, and sustain the sense of shared community and motivation after the completion of the three-week residency.
