Description
About South End Stories
South End Stories is an arts education organization based out of Seattle, WA. South End Stories’ (SES) mission is to ignite joy and justice in classrooms and communities using arts-based learning, anti-racist education, and social activism. Our vision is liberation through storytelling and the arts. We support culturally sustaining and anti-racist facilitation for youth through trauma-conscious, arts-based programming that centers student voices, validates their experiences, and creates safe healing spaces for creative expression and identity exploration. We work holistically with youth, teachers, and families to reshape the school climate into an environment that is welcoming and relevant for all. Our various programs for ages K-12 are based in visual arts, film, theatre, and movement.
We are especially interested in artists with experience in Theatre of the Oppressed, devising, improvisation, and socially engaged theater practices who believe in the power of art to build community and imagine new futures.
A Teaching Artist with experience in Theatre of the Oppressed can hold space for difficult conversations without steering them. A skilled practitioner knows how to create an environment where young people feel safe enough to engage honestly, while never sanitizing or softening the real conditions of their lives.
Comfort with non-linear, participant-driven processes: this work rarely goes exactly as planned, and that is by design.
Deep facilitation skills: the ability to guide a room without dominating it, and to respond in the moment when something unexpected or emotionally charged surfaces.
An understanding of how race, class, gender, immigration status, and other systems of power show up in the room and in the work.
The Teen Theatre Intensive explores how theater can connect people, elevate voices, and support young people in expressing their ideas about the world around them. The program focuses on helping students develop practical theater skills while engaging in collaborative creation and storytelling.
Rather than focusing on producing a fully polished show, the program centers process, experimentation, and ensemble-building, culminating in a creative sharing of work developed during the intensive. Students will explore a range of theater techniques—including improvisation, movement, monologue work, and devising—while gaining a deeper understanding of what it means to create theater collectively.
The Theater Teaching Artist will collaborate closely with two other teaching artists (theater and dance), a vocal coach who works with students twice a week, and a program coordinator providing logistical support.
Schedule & Time Commitment
Program dates: July 27 – August 21
There will be staff meetings and gatherings through end of August
Daily program hours: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Teaching artists should plan to arrive approximately 30–60 minutes before the program day for preparation, and stay 30–60 minutes after some sessions for reflection and team coordination as needed (schedule can be flexible). This time is also paid at the same hourly rate.
Additional planning time for sessions you facilitate are also compensated at the hourly rate. South End Stories allocates one hour of planning time per session facilitated, but this is flexible based on need.
Planning & Meetings:
April-June: Approximately one 60 minute meeting per week
July 1st- July 24th : two to three 60 minute meetings per week
July 27th-August 21st: planning meetings as needed before and after programming
Responsibilities
Facilitate theater workshops centered on ensemble-building, improvisation, and collaborative creation.
Collaborate with other teaching artists to introduce students to core theater concepts and language, including stage presence, monologue work, and character exploration.
Support students in using their bodies, voices, and imagination to tell stories and build theatrical worlds.
Incorporate Theatre of the Oppressed and other participatory theater techniques into unit plans and performance practices.
Help guide a devising process where students collaboratively develop material throughout the intensive.
Collaborate with the dance teaching artist and vocal coach to integrate movement, music, and performance techniques.
Foster a supportive, inclusive, and youth-centered creative environment.
Participate in planning and reflection with the teaching team.
Co-create Theater of the Oppressed professional development activities in collaboration with the Director of Education for other Teaching Artists, post-programming.
Program Support & Logistics:
Support with daily program operations such as setting up and resetting the space
Assist with student check-in and attendance
Help monitor student safety and well-being throughout the day
Support snack and lunch transitions as needed
Work collaboratively with staff to ensure a smooth and welcoming daily flow
Ideal Qualifications
Experience working as a Teaching Artist with high school youth
Background in Theatre of the Oppressed, devised theater, applied theater, improvisation, or socially engaged performance practices
Strong facilitation and ensemble-building skills
Experience guiding collaborative creative processes with high school youth
Interest in helping youth connect art-making with community, storytelling, and self-expression
Ability to collaborate with artists from multiple disciplines (dance, music, theater)
Commitment to equity, inclusion, and youth empowerment
Compensation
Starting at $35/hour, depending on experience
Paid hours include program time, planning time, and coordination with the teaching team

Description
From subtle luminosity to stark contrast, illumination defines and reveals our world. For the exhibit Illuminate, artists may investigate reflection, shadow, and atmosphere, or use illumination to direct attention, and establish a specific visual or physical experience. Illumination can be used artistically to achieve understanding or bring clarity to something previously unseen. Artists may interpret the theme through ideas of revelation, discovery, awareness, knowledge, or insight, exploring what it means to illuminate something intellectually, emotionally, or spiritually.
Illuminate invites artists to consider how light functions within their work, whether as a visual phenomenon, a structural component or a conceptual framework. Works may also incorporate illumination directly through material, process, or installation through projection, reflection, transparency, or light-sensitive methods. In addition to how illumination is traditionally depicted, artists are encouraged to explore unexpected approaches that expand viewers' experience and awareness of illumination.
Illuminate is a juried group exhibition open to all media. Works will be selected based on strength of concept, relationship to the theme, technical command, overall execution, and adherence to submission guidelines. Open to all interested artists.

Description
ABOUT THE CALL
We invite artists to propose up to 2 sketched designs for yarn on fences to transform vacant lots into joyful, vibrant, and fresh temporary art installations. The selected artist will develop the design for two sections of fencing along NE 65th St: between 15th Ave NE and 16th Ave NE and between 14th Ave NE and 15th Ave NE.
Once selected, the artist will work with the project team to finalize designs and determine how the community can be involved in assembly or installation. The artist is only responsible for the design and is not expected to participate in fabrication or installation. The Roosevelt Neighborhood Association will source all yarn and materials.
We invite artists of all ages, backgrounds, and styles to apply. Preference will be given to artists with a connection, past or present, to Roosevelt or Ravenna neighborhoods.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
The Roosevelt Reimagined committee has selected acrylic yarn as the material for this project because of its affordability, vibrant colors, and fit with the constraints of working on temporary fencing.
Designs must be light weight and allow for wind to pass through. Designs with large solid blocks or densely packed knit sections of yarn are discouraged. Think woven patterns, geometric frameworks, or repeating motifs rather than wrapped or stuffed surfaces.
Ideally, techniques are executable by volunteers with limited fiber arts experience.
Design must be fully removable without damaging the fence.
As a condition for using the fences, designs must not include any political imagery, symbols, or messaging.
PROJECT TIMELINE
Call for artists deadline - Sunday, June 21st at 11:59 PM PT
Anticipated selection - late June 2026
Design finalization with selected artist - mid July 2026

Download 2026 WITS Writer-In-Residence Job Description
SAL Mission:
Seattle Arts & Lectures (SAL) cultivates transformative experiences through story and language with readers and writers of all generations.
SAL Program Overview:
Since launching our first season in 1988, we have brought leading writers and thinkers to Seattle while investing deeply in the region’s literary community. Through our Literary Programs and Arts Education Programs, we connect readers, writers, youth, families, and educators with the power of storytelling. Each year, over 33,000 audience members and 6,000 students participate in programs designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and connection. SAL brings people together around the power of words and ideas.
Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, & Access:
All staff actively participate in SAL’s ongoing efforts to become an anti-racist organization and embody an organizational culture that supports and reinforces our inclusion, diversity, equity & access goals. SAL’s Equity Accountability Reports are available on the SAL website under “About.” This commitment and understanding should be demonstrated throughout the performance of the WITS Writer-in-Residence responsibilities and staff activities.
Position Overview:
Writers in the Schools (WITS), SAL’s flagship literary arts education program, places professional local writers in K-12 public schools for extended creative writing residencies. Since its inception in 1994, WITS has served over 150,000 students throughout the Puget Sound region. Last year we worked with 40 school partners to serve over 6,000 students.
In collaboration with classroom teachers, WITS Writers cultivate spaces where young people can find their own cadence, speak their own truths, and act with creative agency and urgency – all in their own classroom. Through WITS, we support students as they discover and develop their authentic writing and performance voices—and then give them the stage to make their voices Seattle’s own. Through WITS, students become the authors of their own lives.
For the coming 2026-27 school year, we are hiring 1-3 WITS Writers— practicing writers in the community—to join our cohort of literary teaching artists and work within our partner schools’ classrooms. We welcome applications from writers of diverse mediums, including but not limited to cartoonists/graphic novelists, playwrights, poets, prose writers, and memoirists. We especially encourage Black writers, Indigenous writers, writers of color, writers from the LGBTQ+ community, bilingual writers, and writers from interdisciplinary backgrounds to apply. WITS Writers must show a demonstrated commitment to anti-racist pedagogy and practice.
Our Arts Education Program Managers will work with WITS Writers to place them in a compatible elementary, middle, or high school. We do the majority of our hiring and placements during the late summer but anticipate that some residencies will still need to be determined as the year progresses. School placements vary and may be either extended weekly residencies or take place over a shorter window of time, as a multi-day per-week intensive.
WITS is driven by our primary goals to:
Support students in building a practice of self-expression, increasing reading and writing skills, and growing self-confidence.
Energize teachers by offering new, enriching learning experiences.
Provide writers with opportunities to develop pedagogical skills—and teach their craft to the next generation of writers.
Integrate the arts into schools’ academic curriculums.
Bring a race and equity lens to the teaching of creative writing with the goal of cultivating a sense of belonging for all, while centering students most impacted by structural racism.
Bolster a positive learning community that amplifies and celebrates youth voices.
Responsibilities:
Work in the classroom (40%)
Guide students through exciting and innovative creative writing lessons.
Collaborate with classroom teachers, instructional assistants, and paraprofessionals to provide an accessible creative writing experience for all students.
Be observed by SAL staff 1-2x throughout the year and participate in one-on-one debrief sessions.
Maintain confidentiality about all student work.
Select and work to prepare a small number of students to read their work at the annual WITS Year End Reading and to publish their work in the annual WITS anthology.
Curriculum development and associated out-of-classroom work (40%)
Select relevant mentor texts that allow students an entry way into finding their own voices, demonstrate a dedication to anti-racist pedagogy, and celebrate language.
Design cohesive, sequential, age-appropriate, creative writing curricula.
Create scaffolded, accessible lessons that allow students the opportunity to stretch themselves creatively and exercise critical thinking skills.
Provide written feedback to your students at least once per residency.
Coordinate end-of-residency culminating events for your classes.
Meetings and communication (20%)
Attend a pre-residency planning meeting with SAL staff and partner teachers.
Attend a mid-residency check-in meeting with partner teachers partway through each residency.
Prepare and, two weeks prior to residency start date, circulate to teachers and SAL staff a working syllabus that takes into account your classroom teachers’ curriculum and goals (knowing things might change!).
Collect student permissions and excellent student work throughout the year and submit to SAL staff on deadline for online and print publications.
Respond to communication from partner teacher(s) and SAL staff within 48 hours.
Complete an annual self-evaluation and participate in a 1:1 review with SAL staff at the end of each year.
Actively participate in WITS Writer Collective events; have a vested interest in building community among WITS Writers.
Attend the following, paid ($30/hour), mandatory meetings:
New Writer Meeting on September 8 (in-person, from 1-2:30pm).
Fall Writers Orientation on September 15 (in-person, from 9:30am-1pm).
WITS Writer Collective Meetings tentatively scheduled for November 17, January 19, March 16, May 18 (all online, from 4-5:30pm).
Diverse Workforce Statement:
SAL values a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture in all areas of our work and culture. SAL is an equal opportunity employer. We recognize that opportunities in the arts have historically excluded and continue to disproportionately exclude Black and Indigenous people, people of color, people from working class backgrounds, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ people. We strongly encourage individuals with these identities to apply. Strong candidates will bring a diverse set of skills, characteristics, and experiences, both professional and lived. SAL focuses on a holistic view of potential candidates and understanding that no single candidate will offer every desired skill and characteristic. The following offers an aspirational view of the ideal candidate profile, and we encourage applications from candidates with a wide range of experiences and backgrounds.
Minimum Qualifications:
A demonstrated commitment to anti-racist pedagogy, disability justice and access, social-emotional learning, and a vested interested in making classrooms a space for joy and belonging for all students; WITS Writers should have a student-centered approach.
At least 1-2 years of teaching or mentoring experience with elementary, middle, or high school students.
Desire, ability, and flexibility to collaborate with public school teachers.
Excellent written and oral communication skills and a willingness to grow, learn, and adapt.
A sense of humor, flexibility, and responsiveness to differing student needs within a public school’s classroom setting.
Positive attitude; friendly and respectful manner when working with students, WITS Writers, staff, teachers, and other school partners.
Outstanding organizational skills, meticulous attention to detail, and a high degree of reliability.
Established record of community engagement (e.g. through record of publications, performances, or other community events). WITS Writers actively work on their own writing and are eager participants in the Seattle literary community.
Availability to complete every session of a scheduled residency—either throughout the academic year or in an intensive, 1-2 weeks multi-day session (October – June). All placements to be determined in coordination with SAL Staff.
Desired Qualifications:
Bilingual (especially Spanish, Amharic, Arabic, Vietnamese, Mandarin)
Experience with Multilingual Learners or Special Education students
Additional Considerations:
Teaching artists in the WITS Collective are contract workers who participate in a number of extended writing residences throughout the school year; the number of residencies that a teaching artist leads depend on the need of the program and the availability of the teaching artist. The average WITS writer works 125 hours/year.
Writing residencies are an on-location at K-12 public schools in the greater Seattle area.
We are, unfortunately, not able to provide relocation assistance for this position.
Benefits and Compensation Overview:
Compensation for in-class teaching time begins at $110 per contracted teaching hour. This rate assumes outside-of-class time spent on preparation and feedback. Compensation for administrative meetings is $30/hour.
WITS Writers are paid in monthly installments. Partial or greater residencies are scaled accordingly.
Free in-person (as available) and online tickets to all SAL events in the 2026-27 Season.
The invitation to join in a 3-night, collective writers’ residency at Rockland Woods (Belfair, WA) from September 15-18, 2026.
The opportunity to apply for a 10-day individual writers’ residency at the Mineral School from February 14-22, 2027.
A $150 professional development stipend that can be put towards observing other WITS writers in the classroom, or other mutually determined opportunities.
We recognize that, as independent contractors, having to schedule a make-up workday might result in missing other paid work opportunities. With this in mind, if you miss a day of WITS work due to illness, we can offer a limited amount of Missed Gig compensation. All WITS Writers, regardless of your pay rate, receive $50/hour for Missed Gig compensation as long as funds last.
