The Studio Artists Program is a partnership between Tempe Community Arts and Tempe Elementary School District #3 to grow arts literacy and ignite creative vibrancy in school communities. This residency program, established over 25 years ago, supports professional artists by offering workshop stipends and full-time access to studio space. Each year, the program serves 5,000 students by providing visual arts instruction to every second through fifth grade classroom in 16 schools. This program expands students’ understanding of the arts and allows them to interact with professional artists from the local community. Artists work closely with city and district staff to develop four-hour visual arts workshops inspired by the artists’ expertise and style which introduce students to relevant arts principles and activities.

The Studio Artists Program is looking for practicing artists with experience teaching visual arts and an interest in working with elementary school students as part of a three-year residency.
