Artist presenters needed for elementary art show


  • February 26, 2018

Fairview Elementary in Auburn, Maine holds an annual art show which includes a professional artist presenter.  I am looking for three presenters to create an event that features their art, the process they use and some kind of interactive component. 

The art/music shows are broken up into three different nights.  The nights are currently scheduled as follows: March 21 (K-1), March 22 (2-3) and March 28 (4-5-6)

In the past we had a ceramicist throw pottery on a wheel and allow students to try it, an artist drew musicians as they played, an artist created a collaborative art project based on her interests, an artist that worked with silhouettes made a work of art as people viewed her work, and a puppet company showed the students how they made their puppets.  All of the artists gave the students and parents a glimpse into their particular artistic processes. 

Each artist will have between 1 to 2 hours to complete their "presentation."  Each artist will get a small stipend of $200.00 for their time, travel expenses, and supplies.  The "presentation" will be held in the school's art room, which includes a large space, LCD projector, and any artist supplies I can offer. Here are the things I need from the artists.

  • I will need a small descriptions of what your will be proposing for the night
  • A list of supplies you will be using
  • A few images that represents what you will be doing.

Please email the information to mpeinado@auburnschl.edu

Thanks so much for considering this.  All of the artist presenters have said they enjoyed the experience and the community has been so enriched by the artists.
