CONTRACTED HIRE: Art Education Instructor Application - Hiring 

IN NEED OF METALS INSTRUCTORS
If you are interested in becoming an instructor, employed by the Springfield Art Association, please fill out the form below, and we will get back to you to discuss details and arrange an interview.

New Hire Instructor Application

• We generally have our hourly pay rate for our instructors beginning at $15 per hour of instruction, plus minimum wage or half your pay rate for an hour of preparation/ clean-up time per class session. If you have a Masters degree, we begin the pay rate at $18 per hour. You are paid on a bi-weekly pay period.
• We pay our instructors this way, rather than per student, so that we can maintain a consistent pricing structure. As such, we require a certain number of students per class to remain profitable, and we do not expect instructors to assist us in promoting their classes, but always appreciated.
• If this doesn't work for you, please feel free to start a conversation in the 'Other Notes' section of the instructor application form, and we'll see if we can work something out. But remember, we are a nonprofit community organization dedicated to arts and crafts education (especially for kids in our community... and yes... we're shamelessly trying to tug at your heartstrings a little bit), and we can use all the help we can get!

Contact us by email at education@springfieldart.org or by phone at (217) 523-2631
or just stop by and see us during office hours at 700 N 4th St; Springfield, IL 62702
