We are currently recruiting for Art Teachers for our adult students for Weekdays and Saturdays in our Larchmont school location.

We need a Studio Art teacher with experience teaching advanced and beginner adult art students.

In both cases a wide variety of mediums and techniques are used. We need teachers to be comfortable delivering our proprietary curriculum to adults. This involves following pre-written lesson plans and adhering to specific learning goals and timelines.

Our curriculum is created centrally so there is minimal prep required and all tools, equipment and supplies are provided. Our Fine Arts instructors need a strong background in visual arts - BFA or MFA preferred and at least 10 years fine art teaching experience.

• 10+ years of experience teaching fine art classes
• MFA or Masters In Art Education

Our studios are state of the art and you will find that teaching at One River is a completely different experience than any other art program in the country. Each school has a unique gallery space that displays not only the work of students, but also features the work of up and coming contemporary artists.

From the moment you walk in the door you experience the excitement and vibrance of a school that captures the immediacy of the contemporary art scene.

Ideal candidates are thoughtful educators who possess a proven track record of delivering compelling, engaging and fun student centric experiences in the classroom.
