STEMarts Lab is inviting artists to be part of an exciting PAID opportunity starting January 2026. We’re looking for creators who want to work with students ages 14–25 to explore science-informed XR and digital art, culminating in immersive co-created experiences showcased at events, museums, and festivals.
Who We’re Looking For –
We welcome artists who work with any of the following (or related) skill sets:
- Creative coding (e.g. P5.js) or generative art
- Augmented Reality (AR) and Extended Reality (XR)
- AI-assisted Art
- Interactive Design
- Experimental tools in new media art
You do not need experience in all of these areas. If you’ve developed a unique method or creative process using any digital/XR tools, we want to hear from you.
What You’ll Be Doing –
Selected artists will:
- Lead hybrid workshops with students (remote + in-person)
- Receive artist stipends for both the teaching and creative collaboration components of the project
- Share your artistic process and tools through demos or guided making sessions
- Collaborate with youth to co-create new work informed by science, art, and technology
- Exhibit your work alongside student creations at festivals, museums, and public events
This is more than a teaching gig—it’s a creative exchange.
Artists based in New Mexico will be prioritized, especially for in-person engagements and rehearsals. However, we’re also seeking national and international artists for virtual presentations and remote collaborations.
