Artist responsibilities:
• Provide a program proposal to the DKG/library committee
• Provide “office hours” at the library – one Saturday/month (2 hours)
• Plan and provide class/lecture at the library – one evening/month (2 hours, + prep time)
• Plan and provide week-long, youth focused lessons on their art – one week/month (5 hours, + prep time)
Artist pay:
Covers 10 hours/month @$30/hour, so Artist Stipend will be $300 per month, with all materials paid for by the grant.
