JOB POSTING:

AS THE CLEVELAND PRINT ROOM EXPANDS OUR EDUCATION OFFERINGS WE ARE SEEKING LEAD TEACHING ARTISTS & TEACHING ARTISTS

THE CLEVELAND PRINT ROOM STORY

Founded in 2013, Cleveland Print Room (CPR) is a non-profit community darkroom, gallery, and recognized education center located in Cleveland. We believe that young people have important stories to be told that deserve to be heard and that through the medium of photography they can find their voice. Our programs engage young people in creative self-expression, fostering interaction with their environment and community, learning what it means to be an artist. We reach youth in grades 6 - 12 and meet them where they are - in schools, after school programs, summer programs, churches, and community centers. Our programs focus on serving marginalized communities, where the majority of the students are youth of color, with some students English language learners.

Compensation is based on experience and wages for lead teachers start at a higher level.
