Overview selection Teaching Schedule Seminar CAPSTONE Compensation & Benefits Events Alumni The Residency for Experimental Arts Education . "Engaging with Children's Museum of the Arts' programming is awe-inspiring; developing relationships with community artists as both creators and teachers offers a unique opportunity." Erika R. Moore Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer David Zwirner See more Overview . Overview The Residency for Experimental Arts Education imagines what can happen when an artist educator is given the platform and support to realize an ambitious arts curriculum. Each Resident Artist is paired with one of our three NYC-based partner schools and community-based organizations for the duration of the academic year, creating and implementing a long-form curriculum, building relationships between young artists and their local arts community, creating an original work of art for permanent installation within the school, and publishing their research along the way. Teaching . Teaching Our model provides Resident Artists the opportunity to work with a small number of students in a deeply focused way throughout the academic year. For the 36 weeks of the academic year, six hours a week, Resident Artists will implement an intensive, scaffolded visual arts program, connecting their students to the elements and principles of visual art, while guiding them toward independent artistic practices. The result of a year of co-creation is a more inclusive arts program that affirms the diversity of learning profiles and celebrates cultural heritage. FIRST SEMESTER: Foundation Taking a cue from the Bauhaus Preliminary Course, Residents will design and implement core experiments in Life Drawing, Color, Two Dimensional Design and Three Dimensional Design, introducing a range of materials and techniques to explore formal principles, while connecting these investigations to examples in the world through field trips to local galleries, museums and public art works. SECOND SEMESTER: Independent Practice Residents will guide young artists as they synthesize foundational experiments from the first semester toward individuated artistic projects, drawing inspiration from the world around them and the practices of adult artists. PARTNER COMMUNITIES Hudson Guild CHELSEA, MANHATTAN See more Rooted in the Chelsea neighborhood, Hudson Guild seeks to co-create with individuals and families to achieve their highest potential, while maintaining a priority focus on those in economic need. Many of the families have experienced urgent housing needs. Seminar Seminar . RECENT GUEST EXPERTS Ketter Weissman American Academy in Rome Lina McGinn Art Lot Sharon De La Cruz New York University Jacob Jackmauh Art Lot Devin Kenny Artist Natalia Nakazawa Parson School of Design, City College of New York Once a month, Resident Artists come together for a seminar centered on a shared reading in the philosophy and methodology of arts education. In this seminar, residents also present their work toward The Look Make Show, CMA's digital commons for the advancement of arts education, presenting insights from their work with students and providing each other critical feedback. LMS . Capstone During their residency period, each resident will create an original work of art (or series) for the permanent collection of their partner school or community-based organization. Residents will devote time getting to know all aspects of the community that will make up the primary audience for the work, with the goal of leaving behind a work of art that will become a touchstone in their lives for years to come. Community Events Community Events . Several times throughout the year, with support from CMA staff, Residents lead community-wide art events, bridging the gap between their school partner and the wider art world. Children's Museum of the Arts maintains partnerships with arts organizations across New York City such as New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA), New York Public Library, Whitney Museum of American Art, INCLUDEnyc, David Zwirner Gallery, Kasmin Gallery, Pace Gallery, and more.

Kuniyoshi Select Collection The Kuniyoshi Collection . Yasuo Kuniyoshi was an American painter, printmaker, and photographer who worked as a teacher at the New School for Social Research and The Art Student’s League during the Great Depression. In the early 1990s, Kuniyoshi’s widow, Sara Mazo Kuniyoshi, donated 19 paintings created by children during the late 1930s in Works Progress Administration (WPA)-sponsored Community Art Centers in New York City to Children’s Museum of the Arts. While our research has not been able to confirm that Kuniyoshi himself taught the students whose artwork makes up this collection, like many artists during this time period, he collected children’s art as a source of inspiration for his own work. The collection was featured alongside the Young Artists Residency Program collection in CMA’s 2011 exhibition "Art Within Reach: From the WPA to the Present." Bibel The Leon Bibel Collection . Leon Bibel (1913-1995) was born in Poland and immigrated to the United States as a child. His lifelong dream was to be an artist, an ambition he pursued as a student at the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco. After assisting Bernard Zakhelm on several murals, Bibel moved to New York in 1936 to join the Works Progress Administration’s Federal Art Project. Leon was assigned to the teaching division of the WPA/FAP, where he began teaching printmaking to young students at P.S. 94 and Bronx House, a community art center. The centers were designed to offer free arts education to people of all ages, and in concept and function, this open door policy promoted the arts as a valuable element of society, and an activity to which every individual should have access. The artworks in this collection offer a glimpse into the 1930s from the perspective of a child. The children greatly benefitted by being guided through the artistic process to a fuller connection to their environment. The Leon Bibel Collection was accessioned into CMA’s Permanent Collection with the help of Phyllis Wrynn and Mitch Freidlin, on behalf of the Leon Bibel Estate. Special thanks to Elaine Bibel Cater and Daniel Bibel. The International Collection .
