Posting Details Position Information Job Title Artist in Residence at Wartburg and Sarah Lawrence College Classification Title Rank Undefined Tenure Information Non-Tenure Track Job Description Sarah Lawrence College in partnership with the Wartburg Adult Care Community invites applications for an artist-in-residence fellowship. While the area of specialty is open, we are looking for a Fellow with a community-engaged artistic practice and a commitment to working with senior adult learners of all abilities. This two-year fellowship begins August 2025 and is funded by the Endeavor Foundation. The successful candidate will understand the benefits of the creative arts and lifelong learning for an aging population and the role of an adult care community, like Wartburg, in helping seniors cultivate new skills and passions. An ability to communicate with residents, their families, and staff, as well as good interpersonal skills, patience, and imagination are essential to this work. At Wartburg, the Endeavor Fellow, working collaboratively with staff and residents, will develop arts programming designed to cultivate interest and engagement with the arts amongst a diverse senior population. This programming will attend to the challenges that individuals face as they age (including memory loss, physical and sensory disabilities, loneliness, and grief) as well as augmenting Wartburg's commitment to wellness-based care, personal enrichment, arts therapy (especially its internationally-recognized Institute for Music and Neurologic Function), and memory care. The Endeavor Fellow will also teach courses at the College that will engage our students and the college community in Wartburg's mission. Past collaborations with Wartburg have included undergraduate classes focused on improv, storytelling, and puppetry, and we can also imagine classes focusing on film-making and/or photography; we are especially interested in classes that we could cross-list under both Theatre and Visual Arts. We invite interested candidates to submit a statement of interest and possible directions that they might take the Fellowship along with a CV, three letters of recommendation, relevant evidence of teaching (such as syllabi or a statement of teaching philosophy), and a sample of their work either in print or in a multi-media format. Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time. Consideration of applications will begin on April 15, 2025. . Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Required Qualifications The successful candidate will combine a Ph.D. and/or MFA and/or equivalent professional accomplishment in a relevant field with experience in community engagement.
