All 4 Kids Childcare is a small center located in Baltimore City, housed in the Maryland State Boyschoir School. They are seeking MICA students to come to the center twice a week to teach an art lesson. MICA students would be supervised by the center director who would give you a theme to follow, but otherwise you will have creative control of the lesson. The summer program is 8 weeks long. This is a volunteer position, but lunch is provided and you will be reimbursed for transportation.

“The Center’s mission is to transform neighborhoods by equipping congregations to be involved in their communities in ministries of justice. This summer, The Center is teaming up with Brown Memorial Park Avenue to run a learning camp for children at Eutaw Marshburn Elementary School. The camp will be modeled after the learning camps in South Dakota that Chrystie and Doug Adams, among others, have been instrumental in running for almost a decade. The camp will include learning stations such as math, creative writing, science, etc., and will be staffed by adult and high school youth volunteers. One of the stations will be an art station, and we are looking for an adult volunteer to lead this station with high school youth.
Do you know of anyone in community arts who might be interested in giving
their time to help with this wonderful effort? The camp will be Monday-Thursday, June 25-28, from 9-2.”
For more information on this opportunity please contact the CAP office (CAP AT MICA DOT EDU/410 225 2347).
A panel discussion on the inception of Artomatic in Washington DC and plans for an Artomatic in Baltimore!
Artomatic is designed to create community among artists, generate an audience for artists and the arts and expand economic development through an event featuring the creative works of hundreds of artists in a multitude of art forms, including the visual arts, theater, music, film, poetry and more.
Artomatic speakers: Jim Tretick, Eduardo Rodriguez and founder, George Koch will discuss the inception of Artomatic, their licensing initiative, and future plans for a Baltimore based Artomatic. In the fall of 2011 Artomatic began a licensing program to assist artists and their communities to host their own Artomatic events. Artomatic @Frederick was the first implementation.
CAP is accepting applications for summer internships through July 1, 2012. For more info, contact the CAP Office.

She has created The BMore Fit Teacher Toolkit in partnership with BMoreFit, a local nonprofit dedicated to physical education, and Green Street Academy, a public middle-high school in West Baltimore.

news from the Office of Events:
“Yesterday a 25 foot long retro houseboat arrived on the MICA campus and will be in the parking lot until ArtScape when it will be berthed at a “beach” on Charles Street. Houseboat is the project of very recent MICA graduates Will Pierce ’12 and Tommy Doyle ‘12.
Houseboat seeks to establish an interdisciplinary venue that blurs the lines dividing the creation and exhibition of artwork. Over the next few weeks, in the MICA parking lot, Houseboat will be transformed into a non-traditional art gallery and studio where artwork can be created in, on, and around the boat, using the boat and the artwork itself as the driving inspiration.
The art will be displayed in the boat at a multimedia gallery opening, which will include screening of video documentation of the process. The multidisciplinary nature of this project will have potential to involve performing or visual art groups. After ArtScape, Houseboat will engage with communities during its already booked travels to other cities…
MICA is very excited to be the shipyard for this ambitious project and we invite you all to stop by and peek at the progress as the boat transforms, but please do not to board Houseboat. “
