Creative Project Leads (Multidisciplinary Teaching Artists & Creative Educators of all forms)

Company Description

Making Art For Enlightenment (mafe.foundation) is a creative initiative by London-based artist Miguel Fernandez to inspire children to explore creativity and develop imagination beyond the digital world. Through meaningful, hands-on experiences in painting, music, sculpture, and more, the organization nurtures genuine human connection and preserves childhood curiosity. By working with passionate artists and educators, MAFE aims to provide real-world, screen-free opportunities for children to create and learn. This social movement advocates for mindful creativity and challenges the dominance of digital dependency to protect creativity and empower the next generation. Join us in ensuring children create rather than consume by choosing impactful and artistic experiences.

Location: On-site in London (various locations across the city)

Somewhere along the way, paper became pixels, curiosity became algorithms, and our presence got lost in notifications. We want to change that.

At Making Art For Enlightenment (MAFE), we believe art isn’t just decoration, it’s what makes us human. It’s how we think, feel, connect, and remember who we are.

We create real, human-to-human art experiences that help children, teens, families, and creative minds reconnect with the world beyond screens.

We’re looking for Creative Project Leads: Art teachers, teaching artists, and creative educators across all disciplines: Painting, drawing, sculpture, mixed media, printmaking, photography, performance, craft, singing, dancing and more to join us in shaping meaningful, hands-on art experiences for young people.

In this role, you’ll design and lead your own creative projects or classes, drawing on your area of expertise, whether that’s painting, sculpture, mixed media, craft, printmaking, performance, photography, or something entirely your own. Each project is an opportunity to explore imagination, mindfulness, and connection, NO screens, just art and presence.

You’ll collaborate with the MAFE team, schools, and community partners to bring your vision to life and create environments where creativity feels natural, restorative, and alive.

• Practicing artists, art teachers, or creative educators based in London
• Experience leading art workshops or educational projects for children or young people
• A genuine passion for creativity, community, and learning through making
• The ability to design and deliver engaging, screen-free art experiences
• Strong communication and facilitation skills; able to create a warm, inclusive classroom atmosphere
• Organised, reliable, and comfortable working independently as well as collaboratively

Why Join MAFE

• Freedom to design projects based on your own artistic interests and teaching style
• Be part of a growing creative community that values art as a force for human connection
• Work in beautiful, real-world spaces that encourage imagination and presence
• Inspire the next generation to make, explore, and express beyond the screen

This role focuses on working with children and young people, so applicants must hold a current enhanced DBS checkor be willing to obtain one before starting.
