Who We’re Looking For

We work with artists who:

• Practice art themselves (any medium: drawing, painting, illustration, design, sculpture, mixed media)

• Enjoy guiding children or teenagers through creative challenges

• Care about ideas, not just outcomes

• Are patient, warm, and quietly confident

• Want to teach in a studio that respects both art and artists(small and big)

You don’t need to be loud.
You don’t need to be “perfect.”
You do need to care.

What Teaching at Art Academica Feels Like

Many artists come to us tired of:

• Teaching without structure

• Being rushed from activity to activity

• Working in spaces that value speed over depth

• Feeling like art is treated as childcare, not culture

​

Here, teaching means:

• Small groups (8–10 students)

• Thoughtfully designed programs

• All materials provided

• Space to teach skills, thinking, and confidence

• A calm, respectful studio environment

You teach. We take care of the rest.

​

Support & Growth

We don’t throw teachers into a room and hope for the best.

You’ll receive:

• Program guidance before each term

• Clear lesson structures with room for personal style

• Paid training and prep time 

• Ongoing support from experienced artist-teachers

• Opportunities to grow into mentoring, portfolio guidance, or exhibition work

All of our teachers are practicing artists who value stability without giving up their creative identity.

 

Practical Details

• Locations: Bentleigh East, Carnegie, Bentleigh (Melbourne)

Art education shapes how young people see the world — and themselves.
If you believe art should be taught with care, patience, and purpose, we would love to meet you.

You just need to bring your art, your curiosity, and your honesty.
