actively explores unique ways of teaching and learning, encourages students to find creative loopholes, and pushes the boundaries of what is considered ‘normal in foundational art.

Responsibilities extend well beyond the classroom: this individual will actively advise students, oversee the Art & Design Club, and collaborate closely with the Department Chair to foster a strong creative community across campus. This role requires an active, dedicated presence, including a willingness to work flexible hours in the evenings and on weekends to support student exhibitions and gallery spaces, and to become an active, visible member of the broader arts and cultural community of Rowan and Cabarrus Counties.

The ideal candidate is a versatile generalist capable of delivering high-quality foundational studio instruction—including drawing, two-dimensional design, and painting—while demonstrating a deep knowledge of the Associate in Fine Arts (AFA) degree program and its crucial relationship to BA, BFA, and BAFA transfer tracks. Crucially, the applicant must possess strong digital aptitude and a strong desire to develop innovative courses, implement new teaching methods, and navigate the Canvas LMS smoothly. We are looking for an educator who is ready to support the expansion of engaging Art Appreciation courses and who is knowledgeable about current pedagogy regarding the ethical, effective use of Artificial Intelligence in art and design education. Ultimately, this position is a perfect fit for a hardworking, disciplined professional. Behind the willingness to experiment must be a rigorous work ethic, a driving desire to succeed, and the stamina to actively manage a thriving studio environment while elevating department initiatives.
