BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - Kern County artists are invited to participate in an educational program designed to bring the arts to Central Valley prisons.
Selected artists would be contracted by the Arts Council of Kern to offer programming in visual arts such as painting, drawing, and sculpturing.
The arts council asks artists to have the ability to create appropriate programming for a specific audience, submit reports on a variety of factors, be responsible for accurate invoicing for time and travel expenses, comply with strict privacy policies, and work at least eight hours a month.
ACK says that training is mandatory and will be paid. The positions will pay a minimum of $30 per hour, and artists will be reimbursed for travel expenses. Supplies, once approved, will be paid for by the California Arts Council.
The program is funded by the CAC and California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Interested artists must submit a resume, along with a small excerpt explaining their interest in the project and three examples of their work. Submissions can be sent to david.gordon@kernarts.org.
Questions can be sent to info@kernarts.org, or asked by phone at 661-324-9000.
