- 2 min read
The School for Uncommon Practice is a member-focused art space, facilitated by Ujima community members to extend their artistic skills and practices back into our communities. Each learning opportunity can be up to 2 sessions. We seek facilitators who are excited about engaging participants in hands-on artistic practices that offer collective learning opportunities that are free and accessible to our BIPOC and working class communities. For more information about the call, click here.
Within the Center for Art, Invention and Uncommon Practice is a school. We have been building this free community led arts school practice for years under different names (aka micro-learning pods). Through each artist-led workshop series, participants are encouraged to explore various artistic mediums and nurture their creative abilities.
We host these workshops every first Wednesday of the month. Sessions may be one-offs or a 2-part series, with dual sessions building on the previous one. Past facilitators have included painters Shantel Miller and Tomashi Jackson, filmmaker Mercedes Loving-Manly, and many more! Check out these past sessions on our website.
We are looking for facilitators who are:
Organized and available to lead up to two consecutive sessions
Interested in teaching hands on artmaking practices
Excited about creating a space for deep engagement and collective study
