We are seeking a teaching artist for our summer success program in Newport! Teaching artist will be creating with students in grades 5-8. One age group meets on Mondays and the other age group meets on Wednesdays for a total of 2 hours/week. Classes take place on the Salve campus July 6-July 29th. Feel free to design and implement multi modality arts offerings- everything can stay on site for the month opening up possibilities for larger scale projects needing time to dry. The CORE Org. provides all materials needed and hourly pay is competitive.Must have current and clean BCI in place and reliable transportation. Email Gloria Crist: [email protected]

I always look at this time of year in complete awe and admiration for the many ways we are able to creatively connect with so many students throughout Newport and Bristol Counties. This school year of creating has been another extraordinary opportunity to do what we do best- with an amazing team of teaching artists-and our intern partnership with RWU/SHEA School. All year round programs end on June 8th-and our summer success program begins on July 6th. Check in with your Summer Success coordinator if you have not yet registered. Gracious thanks to Ashley Aadland-Lessa, Ava Erickson,
Millie Chalk,Elyssa Sena, Kathryn Rose Cosgrove,
Brigitta Varone-Hayes, Aubrey Parker, Emma and Grace, all of our program coordinators and district administrators who welcome us into their after school arts enrichment programming. We begin in September and run through June-then pick back up in July. Each and every program is integrated with social emotional wellness-helping students not only reach creative expression-but also find ways to regulate and be with others in a creative capacity. I am grateful. Enjoy your summer and see you all soon!

I am always inspired by and in awe of the team of teaching artists we have within our arts organization. In the scope of arts education, arts integration, STEM-to STEAM and tending to the social and emotional integrity of every student in our programs- we have the best of the best. Happy Teaching Artist Appreciation Week(s) and daily gratitude for doing the heart work of art making and creating. XO

A reminder we are right in the middle of the Newport County Prevention Coalition feminine products drive. As the school year ends many students will be in need of feminine products for the summer. The CORE Org is happy to pick up products or have them delivered here. Just send a message to: [email protected]. Thanks!
