MarinMOCA is expanding its education program in San Rafael and we are seeking artists who will facilitate workshops in a wide range of media that promote creativity and will appeal to different types of learners. We welcome an array of proposals, including hands-on techniques, art appreciation, events that complement museum exhibitions, artist career enrichment, and more. The formats may include one-and two-day workshops, individual classes, short weekly series, and presentations.

Our workshops and classes are advertised on our MarinMOCA website, through our 9000+ person mailing list, in our member newsletter, and via social media. 

The Details:

Space: The classroom is located at 1210 5th Ave (and B street) in downtown San Rafael. Its 800 square feet has natural and artificial light and water access and can manage privacy if needed. There are eight 6 ft tables in addition to smaller tables for use. The space is upstairs via a ½ flight staircase and there is free parking in the back of the building. Reasonable requests for onsite storage will be accommodated. 

Format & Compensation: The building is accessible for classes Tuesday through Sunday, 9am to 4pm. We are inviting half and full-day workshops, individual classes, as well as short weekly series (ideally 2-4 weeks). Artist member instructors retain 70% of the class/workshop commission, non-artist members retain 65% of the commission.
