Join us for an evening discussion for community members eager to share their artistic skills, talents, and creativity through teaching! Whether you’re a seasoned instructor or you’re exploring teaching for the first time, this gathering is a great opportunity to connect with others interested in teaching their art forms and gain insights into becoming a successful instructor. Enjoy complimentary light refreshments while our Learning Coordinators, Rikki Jo and Haydyn (who are teaching artists as well as ACE staff members), share about the ACE class proposal process, essential lesson planning strategies, and practical tips for teaching children, teens, and adults. They’ll also discuss the art mediums that are most often requested by the public. A tour of our beautiful building will give you an overview of ACE studio rental options. Near the end of the evening, there will be plenty of time to ask any additional questions you may have about teaching at Art Center East. Take the next step in your artistic journey, and join us for this lively gathering! Please enter through the 5th Street door.
Instructors/Teaching Artists: ACE Learning Coordinators Rikki Jo Hickey and Haydyn Wallender
