Become an ArtWorks Apprentice
What is an ArtWorks Apprenticeship?
ArtWorks Apprentices are passionate young artists (must be between the ages of 14-21) who work side-by-side with Teaching Artists to create public art and community impact projects. Projects are most often large-scale, outdoor murals, but we’ve also tried our hands at photography, sewing, dance, and film-making projects. Applicants should be eager to create art, make a difference in the city, work in diverse teams, and build new skills.
Apprentice wages are $13 an hour. Apprentices work between 20 and 30 hours per week for a 10 week period.
Beyond art making, our creative professional development training and team experiences prepare Apprentices to elevate their skills in collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking, goal orientation, and growth orientation. Through our program, Apprentices develop lifelong friendships and bonds with their teammates and connect with their communities through a collaborative creative process.
