Fleisher’s Teen Lounge provides young people with opportunities to work with experienced Teaching Artists from around the region. Participating teens evaluate proposals submitted by Teaching Artists through the RFP (Request for Proposals) process.

The submission deadline is Tuesday, February 5, for projects in March-May 2019. Students will be selecting five visiting artists, who are compensated up to $600 for four sessions with a supply budget of $150. Additional artists may be considered for one- or two-day workshop opportunities. After submitting a proposal, artists attend a mandatory proposal review fair scheduled for Monday, February 11, to meet Teen Lounge students and present their project ideas. Students then vote to select which projects to run in the spring term.

Since 1997, Fleisher has partnered with K-8 public schools and social service agencies in South Philadelphia to bring hands-on art-making directly to students. Through a co-teaching model, Fleisher’s Teaching Artist works closely with a classroom teacher to design a ten-week curriculum of creative projects that enhance students’ learning in core subjects, like math, science, social studies, and language arts, while developing studio and technical skills in the visual arts. Each year, 345 students are provided with 30 hours of free arts instruction in one of 15 arts-integrated residencies, and given a sketchbook and art-making supplies to keep.

“Creative Labs” at Fleisher will aim to provide young people from K-8 a safe, inclusive art program during after-school hours emphasizing art as a thought process that allows young people to retain their high level of creativity and critical thinking. In addition to visual art, we’re seeking teaching artists with skills in puppetry, movement, and creative writing.
