Oshkosh Area School District Seeks Artists for Gifted and Talented Program

The Oshkosh Area School District is seeking artists who would like to share their craft and passion for the visual arts with students in our Gifted and Talented Visual Arts Program. Each school year the Oshkosh Area School District conducts several art opportunities for our students identified as gifted and talented in the area of the visual arts in which local artists demonstrate their skill/craft, teach about their area of expertise and/or experience and create art with our students. Most of our gifted and talented art opportunities consist of a one day event where a visiting artist shares their work, demonstrates their skill and leads students in a relating project of their own; however, other artistic experiences are considered. Materials for students are provided upon the request of the visiting artist. ALL visual artists are encouraged and welcome to apply!

To apply, submit a resume with a cover letter of application that describes your media of expertise and outlines how you plan to share, teach, experience, and/or create art with our students. Also include examples/photos of your work. Artists can apply at any time, but are encouraged to do so earlier in the school year. Several artists are selected for this opportunity each school year. This is a paid opportunity. Visiting artists must have their own transportation to the Oshkosh Area School District.

Please send materials to:
