Art Commons is seeking passionate individuals to teach visual arts to elementary students in the Issaquah School District.

Are you a teaching artist, art docent, or an artist eager to inspire the next generation?

We invite you to apply to Art Commons’ Teaching Artist Residency in the Issaquah School District, where there are no visual art teachers on staff in grades K-5.

The Teaching Artist Residency is a pilot program, so you will be a part of building a new resource in the community with potential for growth across the district. We are hiring three part-time teaching artists for the 2026-27 school year.

We highly encourage applicants from a wide range of backgrounds to apply, especially those who share lived experience with students with the least access to consistent, high quality arts education, including people from BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, immigrant, and low income communities. When children recognize parts of their own identity in a mentor and authority figure who is an artist, they can better see a pathway to becoming an artist and arts lover themselves.
