Art Teachers
​
If teaching art is your creative passion, then you are home. At Nurture Nest in Calgary, we offer varied opportunities for art teachers. Whether you want to inspire babies and their caregivers, active preschoolers, school-age children in small class sizes, teens or adults, you can join us!
Our SE Studio location has a group teaching space nestled in the back of a cozy cafe setting at Cornerstone Music Café. Whether you are taking classes yourself or are a parent waiting for your child in an art class, you can enjoy a tasty treat in our unique community atmosphere that fosters investment and engagement with families. Nurture Nest art teachers also benefit from the sense of community at our SE Studio.
​
We also offer virtual private lessons and group classes to provide flexibility and comfort to our students. Virtual classes are in high demand and we pay well for anyone open to teaching online. Build your own schedule with as few or as many virtual students as you wish.
