Would you like to teach to an inspiring group of adult art students? How about becoming an instructor at MISSA?
Please note that the MISSA Summer Arts Program will be held at Pearson College in Metchosin June 25 – July 9, 2027 and June 23 – July 7, 2028.
The deadline for teaching proposals is October 1, 2026.
In early fall, the MISSA Program Committee starts planning the Summer Arts Program and they need confirm instructors in time to be able to launch the full program on-line in January of the new year. As instructor contracts are signed, social media posts are made to help build excitement about this newly added summer workshop. We will begin promoting the Summer 2027 workshop line up in late autmn 2026.
Teaching contracts are offered on a per-workshop basis and are not an assurance of year-to-year teaching. Workshop proposals must be submitted each year and are the first step needed in this process. You will be asked to complete a workshop form. It is suggested that instructors who are new to MISSA start with a two-day proposal, but depending on the complexity of the workshop and/or the distance needed to travel, an initial 5-day proposal is completely acceptable. Instructors receive an hourly teaching fee ($60/hr – 6 hrs/day) and all meals and accommodations are covered while on campus. Economy travel is covered for out of town instructors and the reimbursement of supplies used for teaching are to be discussed ahead of time with MISSA.
If you are interested in becoming an instructor at MISSA, please consider the following:
1. You will need to include a brief bio with teaching, education and reference details
2. Short course proposal (2-day or 5-day) Class size is limited to 12 students and classes run 9-4 each day.
3. Contact info and website details (Please note that a website or equivalent web presence is a must.)
4. If you are selected we will require 10 hi res images from you for our promotional efforts, action shots and finished works
5. We will require a commitment from you to help us promote your workshop online and through your network.
Please consider teaching with us! We look forward to hearing from you for MISSA 2027 and beyond!
