Madison Public Library has lots of youth field trips for schools, neighborhood centers, and other groups. We work with artists to offer hands-on projects for many of these groups that visit Central Library. Interested artists should have experience working with large groups of youth (up to 25 youth at a time, often in back-to-back sessions of 20-45 minutes each) and enjoy planning programs that can engage with school-age children across a broad spectrum of ages and abilities. Visiting groups may be single-grade or mixed-age, and range from pre-k classrooms through high school youth.

Artists who are interested in this opportunity should have schedules that allow for programs on weekdays from 9-4 timeframe. You do not need to have availability every day/time but should have some availability during these timeframes.

Application Process:

Artists can fill out our Artist Form if they are interested in the Youth Field Trip Artist Opportunity.

Compensation:

We value compensating our artists. Artist are typically compensated $150-$200 for visits lasting 1-3 hours (supplies are also provided by the Library).
