ArtLabs Artist Workshop Application

ArtLabs Artist Workshop Application
Thanks for your interest in hosting a Lab at ArtLabs: Creative Collab!

A "Lab" is our fancy word for a workshop, class or experience. Art is all about experimentation. When you think about it that way, its not so daunting. Everyone is included!

ArtLabs was created to bring local artists, makers, and creatives together to share their skills, connect with the community, and give people more opportunities to create. We’re always excited to discover new artists and workshop ideas that can bring something fun, approachable, and inspiring to the studio.

This application helps us learn a little about you, your creative background, and the Lab(s) you’d like to teach. You may submit up to three workshop concepts for consideration. We’ll review each proposal for its fit with the ArtLabs community, brand, studio values, audience, and overall experience.

A quick note about examples of your work:
Please upload photographs of real, original work that you have personally created and are capable of teaching. Reference examples should accurately represent the type and quality of project participants can expect to create during your Lab.

Please do not submit AI-generated artwork, AI-generated project mockups, or AI-generated images as examples of your work. We want to see your creativity, skills, and actual finished projects. If your Lab is selected, the submitted example may also help us understand the project, materials, difficulty level, and how best to present the workshop to our community.

You do not need to be a professional instructor to apply. If you have a creative skill you’re comfortable sharing with others and a project you’re excited to teach, we’d love to learn more about it.
