The Teaching Fellows Program allows Studio Incamminati students who have successfully completed the Professional Program and Teacher Training Program to continue working toward personal artistic and professional goals while in a mutually beneficial relationship with the school.  In exchange for teaching classes, mentoring other artists and other duties, Teaching Fellows receive studio space, pay for instruction, and other benefits. This is a one-year program with an option to re-apply annually.

The Teaching Fellows Program has the following objectives:

• To support advanced level artists through teaching and other opportunities
• To allow advanced level artists to continue developing their artistic and professional goals while promulgating the principles learned to an ever-broadening audience of artists and the general public
• To help advanced level artists prepare the next generation of artists through teaching and mentoring in a nurturing environment
• To create an environment where advanced level artists can continue to grow and learn from each other as part of a “community of artists” 
• To provide a way for Studio Incamminati to retain the highest quality artists whose goals most closely match our needs

1. A semi-private (or private if available--for a fee) studio space with north-facing light.
