AIE Job Posting The Community Arts Partnerships Office (CAP) at the College for Creative Studies (CCS) has paid part time teaching opportunities to work in our art and design programs throughout Detroit.
Artists in Education (AIE), a program of the Community Arts Partnerships office of the College for Creative Studies, has provided after-school art programs throughout Detroit's inner city since 2001 and worked with more than 26,000 students. Artists from the College and the community are trained and placed in a wide variety of programs serving predominately low-income, minority students from inner city Elementary/Middle Schools and community centers. Programs are hands-on art making with fine art, crafts, and design curricula.
Extensive outreach programs provide large numbers of students with often the only high quality arts programming they have access to in their communities. In-depth, long term after-school partnerships allow for deeper exploration, learning and development. Intensely focused Saturday programs support committed students in beginning to explore mastery in the arts and success in their lives.
Programs are art/education/social service partnerships that address art and youth development goals for students from some of the poorest urban communities in the United States.
