One of the most popular hangouts for the idealists is idealist.org. I am there now in the metaverse searching for something. No, not idealism. I have that. Besides, you do not visit idealist.org to find idealism. You must bring the idealism with you. If you do not have idealism on a particular day, you visit monster.com or careerbuilder.com. Those places don’t really get on you about maintaining your idealism. They couldn’t care less. They only care about money.
No, you visit idealist.org to network with other people who care and to find a job that aligns with your ideals.
Let’s begin.
Go to the non-profit job search page--because you clearly don’t want to make a profit on this--and type in “Teaching Artist". No need to narrow the search terms. Cast a wide net.
Right now, I am thinking:
I’ll work anywhere for anyone, anywhere—as long as they share my core values and believe in the power of art and have an authentic passion for this work and they should also be cultivating a warm and innovative professional community of practice that I can join! Also, the pay should be reasonable. I mean the going rate for an experienced TA in a big city should be anywhere from $80 - $150 per workshop. I can’t work for $25/hr because then I can’t pay my rent and my health insurance and my taxes. I’m a professional! I deserve a living wage, a chance for advancement and some job security!
That’s what I am thinking.
So, here is a summary of the results of today’s job search query.
