We regularly update our roster of artists and designers who we contract to complete commissioned projects throughout the city. We work with artists who bring a variety of styles, and we encourage those who also have collaboration and facilitation skills to apply. Artists must be open to working with our youth artists when possible. To find out more about working with us, please contact us or fill out the Artist Roster form below and tell us about yourself!

Urban ArtWorks works with professional Teaching Artists to lead K–12 visual arts, mural, and public art programs for young people in Seattle, King County, and communities across Western Washington.

Our Teaching Artists bring a range of experience in visual art, mural making, public art, arts education, and youth development. We look for artists who can create welcoming and engaging learning environments, collaborate effectively with young people and community partners, and help youth use art to explore their ideas, experiences, and communities.

We value Teaching Artists with strong facilitation and communication skills, experience working with young people from a wide range of backgrounds, and an understanding of culturally responsive and community-based arts practices. Artists of all backgrounds and levels of professional experience are encouraged to apply.

If you are a visual or public artist interested in paid Teaching Artist opportunities, youth arts education, mural projects, or community-based art programs with Urban ArtWorks, please contact us!
