Become a LEAF Global Arts Easel Rider Teaching Artist!

LEAF Schools & Streets is always looking for new engaging visual artists, facilitators, and drivers to assist for The Easel Rider Team.

The Easel Rider supports the idea that art is not confined to the indoors. Using the Easel Rider as a staging arena, LEAF hires local artists – from puppeteers and painters to filmmakers and new media artists. These artists work with the Easel Rider to offer various captivating projects and outlets for youth and adults alike. The Easel Rider participates in numerous city and private events that allow participants the opportunity to experience, learn and grow, through hands-on activities. LEAF is looking for visual and mixed media artists to support art making activities at these events.

Facilitators and teaching artists are responsible for event set-up, LEAF awareness and reporting to the community arts coordinator. All teaching artists, facilitators, and drivers will be encouraged to attend LEAF Schools & Streets training and staff development.

Each LEAF Easel Rider Teaching Artist will be contracted on an event basis, with a set rate of $65.50 per event. (Plus $20 per hour for events longer than 3 hours.)

AN URGENT LETTER FROM THE LEAF BOARD:

For nearly 30 years, LEAF Global Arts has connected people through the power of art, music, and culture. Every shared moment has been made possible because of you – our community.

The LEAF Festival is critical to funding LEAF’s larger work: providing global cultural arts programming for thousands of local youth and preserving cultures and traditions around the world.

This year, we are facing a financial crossroads: between the loss of last fall’s Festival, losing a majority of our arts education funding in 2025, and not fully recovering from COVID, the future is bleak. The upcoming LEAF Festival could be our last if we don’t come together to sustain the heart of LEAF’s mission – but we have seen what this community can do when united for a cause greater than itself.

To open the Festival experience to as many people as possible, and to rally the full spirit of LEAF, we are offering a limited number of LEAF LOVE Tickets at a significant discount.

These special tickets, offered at 30% off (our highest discount, even more so than our Early Bird pricing) are our way of ensuring everyone has a place in this story. Full-priced tickets also remain available for those with the means to give a little more to help support LEAF’s vital work.

Your presence, your voice, and your support matter more than ever right now. Join us in making this LEAF Festival one that the world will never forget and ensuring the music continues for generations to come. 

Mayani is a Maasai boy from longido Arusha. He went to boarding school at 6 years old and lost his Maasai language and tradition. Since joining the LEAF program, he has learned to sing Maasai songs, practiced the ‘jump’ tradition and wear Maasai shukas (traditional clothing). Mayani is extremely happy and is currently teaching other youth the culture.
