We encourage High School and College students to apply for our Studio Assistantship Program. Danforth Art School Studio Assistants gain experience in all aspects of school functions assisting with overall program facilitation during Summer Arts, our popular summer art classes for children, and School Vacation Week Workshops. Opportunities to assist at the school include supporting the teachers during classes, preparation of materials and studio spaces, organization of supplies, working directly with children, and various administrative tasks. Studio assistants receive valuable mentorship in art making and working with children.
Danforth Art School accepts applications from responsible, reliable, and energetic applicants currently enrolled in high school (grades 9-12) or college for available Studio Assistantships year round. Accepted studio assistants must attend a no cost, non-credit, 8-week class during the Spring session at the school, which will provide the necessary training for summer programming. We welcome former assistants back, and request that you submit the form again, so that we have an updated document for you.
Studio assistants must commit to at least four weeks of volunteer service during summer arts and will be encouraged to participate during subsequent school vacation weeks and for other events at the school. All studio assistants will receive individualized mentorship, important experience for resume building and a document outlining their specific contributions to the program.
All accepted studio assistants must attend this class which will be held during the Spring session at Danforth Art School from 12-2pm on Saturdays from April 27-June 8. There is no cost for the class. The Summer Arts Coordinator will teach this class which will include the following objectives: practicing different tactics for working with children, reviewing expectations, learning how to support work in the art studio, touring the museum exhibitions, and leading group art exercises. Studio assistants will get to know each other and will build a strong community ready to support the very busy Summer Arts program.
Applications are accepted until March 15, 2019. All selected applicants will be asked to come in for an interview. Send your completed application along with current resume if available to:
