The Art Department at Hollins University seeks to fill a tenure-track studio art position (rank open) in two-dimensional art. Primary teaching responsibilities include beginning through advanced drawing, figure drawing, and studio senior seminar, with other opportunities for course development in response to student needs and candidate’s interest. Examples include collage, mixed media, and non-objective art. An interest in printmaking is desirable.

The department seeks an experienced teacher who has a demonstrated commitment and passion for undergraduate teaching, and a desire to participate in the life of a department that emphasizes both the study and practice of art and a University with a proud commitment to its liberal arts mission. Opportunities exist for collaborative efforts in other creative areas, such as film, dance, theater, and creative writing. A deep commitment to professional productivity with an active exhibition record in drawing or mixed media is essential.

The art department is housed in the Richard Wetherill Visual Arts Center, a spacious and outstanding facility with excellent teaching spaces. The department enjoys a rich history of success that includes the Frances Niederer Artist-in-Residence program and input into exhibitions. The Visual Arts Center is also home to the Eleanor D. Wilson Museum, which serves the department, university and Roanoke community as a rich cultural resource.
