Teach a Class or be a Pop Up Artist

Dear Artists,

At Alton Art Revival, we love supporting local artists while keeping creativity accessible to everyone. We’re inviting artists to lead art classes or host pop-up events where you can sell your work and demonstrate your creative process live.

Our classes follow a “pay what you can” model for attendees, which helps us make art education affordable and inclusive. As an artist, you set your own class content (with approval from AAR) and suggested donation price. We do not take any commission from your class fees or sales — this is your opportunity to earn money for your skills while connecting with the community.

If you’re passionate about teaching, sharing your art, or engaging with other creatives, we’d love to hear from you!

*Suggestion: For Pop-Ups, smaller ticket items within the range of $5-$25 would work best. This would not be the correct setting for a $300 painting for example.

Please be aware that you may not receive a fast response. We are answering everyone in the order received. Your application may go on a waiting list. We are working as fast as we are able. Thank you.
