ABOUT THE GHOSTLIGHT:

The Ghostlight Stage Company is a nonprofit arts organization in the Greater Cincinnati area that is breaking down barriers and innovating new ways to experience the arts. The Ghostlight Stage Company is just as the name suggests. Similarly to how a ghost light in a theater is a constant reliable source of light at all times regardless of if the theater is open or not, we hope to be that for our community.

At The Ghostlight Stage Company, we constantly challenge the idea of what a "stage" can be with programming that inspires collaboration between all of the art mediums. With our founders being inspired by the way musical theatre encourages designers, dancers, composers, actors, directors, and more to collaborate and create something together.

The Ghostlight wants to take this idea even further with programming that goes beyond just traditional theatre. We prioritize our four core values in everything we do and pursue our mission through: community-engaging theatrical experiences, innovative interdisciplinary arts events, and unique educational programming for both youth and young professionals.

ProjectArt

Teaching Artist Residency

Posted:
Apr 14, 2025
About ProjectArt
ProjectArt is a national award-winning arts education nonprofit that provides free, after-school art classes for underserved youth while supporting practicing artists through residencies. We partner with public libraries to activate spaces where artists teach, create, and engage communities. Our work addresses the growing opportunity gap in arts education, impacting over two million students who lack access to visual arts programs in their schools.

Over the past 14 years, we've served 315 artists, 64 libraries, and over 13,000 students nationwide through artist residencies and weekly, holistic art programming.

The Residency
The ProjectArt Teaching Artist Residency is designed for emerging, local visual artists who want to engage with youth, libraries and communities while expanding their artistic practice. Residents have a strong interest in developing career-building skills and connecting with a growing local and national network of artists. They are eager to learn through professional development opportunities and explore how public libraries can serve as a resource to inform and support their art-making. Above all, they possess a genuine, enthusiastic appreciation for teaching and mentorship.

This residency runs from August through May, culminating in a joint student and artist exhibition at a professional venue. It allows artists to refine their teaching practice, develop new work, and play a vital role in ProjectArt's mission to increase visual arts access to youth who need it most.

Commitments
A ProjectArt Resident's commitment is two-fold. The teaching component includes paid weekly classes, regular communication with staff, and some administrative responsibilities. The artistic development component provides a supportive framework to create new work for a professional exhibition, build career skills, and leverage the library as a resource throughout the 9-month residency.

Teaching
Weekly Classes
Facilitate 2-3 classes per week for youth ages 4-7, 8-12, and 13-18 years at an assigned public library branch over a 35-week period.

Schedule
Classes are generally after-school between Tuesdays and Thursdays, although they may vary.

AfterschoolHQ
Diligently use AfterSchoolHQ (AHQ), ProjectArt's student database platform, to monitor rosters and maintain accurate attendance records.

Curriculum
Develop a series of seven 3-6-week long projects aligned with ProjectArt's Curriculum Framework, following a designated timeline.

Administrative Tasks
Ensure timely completion of all administrative tasks, including curriculum development, weekly attendance tracking, and periodic submissions of:
- Class photos 
- Student stories
- Student Surveys

Communication
Maintain proactive communication with the City Program Manager regarding all aspects of the residency, including classes and administrative tasks.

Student Exhibitions
Assist in preparing students for participation in the end-of-year library showcase and professional joint exhibition, incorporating class projects into final selections.

Individual Professionalism
Act as a dedicated representative of ProjectArt when engaging with students, families, library staff, donors, and the ProjectArt team. Maintain a solution-oriented, collaborative, and respectful approach in all interactions with supervisors.

Artistic Development
Art Practice
Sustain an ongoing artistic practice that consumes a minimum of 15 hours of work per month, while exploring how library spaces, resources, archives, and digital tools can inform and enrich art-making.

Studio Time
Submit and engage with documentation of your art practice on Discord through ProjectArt's Studio Time component, where residents share progress and exchange feedback while developing new work for the end-of-year exhibition.

Discord
Use ProjectArt's Discord as an active space for support, cohort engagement, tracking professional development webinar announcements, and studio time submissions.

Internal Artist Forums
Attendance and participation in Internal Artist Forums (IAFs) to present artistic and community-oriented achievements PechaKucha-style to the National Cohort/ProjectArt members, refine pitch delivery, receive designated feedback, and engage in discussions on their work and impact.

Exhibition
Begin with exploratory ideas that can evolve over time and ultimately culminate in work for the final exhibition. With guidance from ProjectArt staff and feedback from the national cohort—through Studio Time, Individual Artist Focus (IAF) sessions, and three city-wide check-ins beginning in the spring—residents are expected to develop a new body of work and participate in the exhibition.

Professional Development
Attend ongoing webinars: Strategic Planning, Jobs in the Arts (Building Your Career Toolkit), and Applying to Grants and Residencies. Hosted in partnership with New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA).

Networking
Take part in local in-person and national virtual meetups (via Zoom and Discord Live) to build relationships with fellow resident artists, ProjectArt staff, alumni, and arts professionals.

Applicants who show genuine interest and a clear commitment to engaging with these residency offerings will be prioritized.

Partnered Libraries and Locations
Applicants may apply for the residency at one of the listed city library systems and select a preferred branch. Final placements will be based on availability, fit, and overall alignment with program needs: one artist per branch. Depending on the applicant pool, you may be assigned to an alternative branch upon selection. 

Cincinnati Public Library Branches:
- West End
- Avondale
- Bond Hill

Benefits and Compensation
- Exhibition: End-of-year joint artist and student exhibition hosted at a professional venue, including a $500 materials honorarium and ongoing logistical, artistic support to create new work
