Teaching Artists are disgustingly underpaid

How ‘bout them apples? Teaching Artists are disgustingly underpaid. For this reason, we pay our diverse teaching team the radically ethical wage of $125 per hour.

This ensures our Teaching Artists are compensated for not only their time in the classroom, but their hours of preparation and travel to and from, as well as the years of training and experience that contribute to their artistic excellence.

This radically ethical wage enables Yeah, Art! to support our students with the best arts instruction AND financially empower talented artists right here in our community.

A suggested donation of $125 provides (1) hour of progressive arts instruction for a student classroom + radically ethical wage for a qualified Teaching Artist of Color.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Day from our Big Kids

And let us take a minute…

To show some extra appreciation to heads of the Yeah, Art! Teaching Department, the loyal shepherds of the new generation, Ja Ronn Thompson (Co-Founder and Executive Director) and Angel Adedokun (Education Director). You are the center of what we do. No one works harder. And no one looks better doin’ it.
