Since its initiation in April 2021, the virtual/IRL skool presents open calls for creative and educational programing during which free to attend participant-led artistic courses, lectures, workshops, events, clubs, and happenings take place.

​

All FSKN course and workshop-facilitating positions will come with ✰ financial stipends ✰ to support teaching artists in their pedagogical pursuits with us.

        >>> More info about how to apply as teaching artist can be found in                     our Teach section.

 

With the majority of school activity hosted on Zoom/Discord or elsewhere in cyberspace, participants are welcome to teach and learn from    >> anywhere and everywhere <<

 

Additionally, we encourage both teaching artists and students to explore utilizing any other virtual platforms and environments that may be helpful in collectively exploring ideas and/or creative collaboration.

 

It is a future goal of the skool that our courses and workshops will be recorded and archived on this site for anyone to access at their convenience and in their own time.

​

​

While our initial timeframe for this pilot was intended to run from April-September 2021, we are *thrilled* to share that as a result of the generous funding we have received, alongside the ever-present inspirational and foundational community collaboration, we are going to be able to keep running programming through the rest of the year!! 

 

​

Teach / Learn Opportunities: 

​

Each FSKN programming session will consist of primary public educational offerings in the form of facilitator-led courses and supplemental workshops as well as participant-organized clubs. 

 

Courses will present a facilitator-defined, topic-based or skill-building lectures while Workshops and Clubs will provide more expansive, experimental, and process-oriented spaces and opportunities for participants to publicly explore, share, or develop a facet of their own creative practice.

​

​

Propose / Enroll:

​

Applications for Teaching proposals to contribute to the skool’s programming as a facilitating artist  (courses & workshops)  were released as a public open call in July and will continue to stay open until we have exhausted all of our remaining funding. 

​

Registration for all skool activity opened during our kickoff ꧁ virtual launch party ꧂ which was held in our Virtual Gymnasium on Friday, April 9th @  7-9 CST / 5-7 PST.
