Art Educators & Librarians:
Create a book club guide for everybody
and earn $100 for yourself

We believe great books on art should drive readers to see the art itself, not merely reproduce it. It is our hope that by commissioning and sharing reading group guides written by museum educators and geared to the art as much as to the book, we can better facilitate this interaction. All our guides are published for free online, and available to individual readers as well as to museum educators and programming staff looking for new ways to engage their own museum audiences.

We're offering qualified art educators and librarians $100 per book to create a simple discussion guide of 10 or so questions. Books may be from any publisher, but must be focused on writing about art—no exhibition catalogues or artist books. There is a list of recommended titles in the form below, or you can suggest your own. Successful titles will address broader areas of art even if their specific content is focused on a single artist or idea. And please check out our sample guide before applying.

To apply, simply fill out this form. We'll get back to you with an acceptance or with further questions. There are no specific qualifications for participants, though we prefer currently working art and museum educators. And if you can share links to your work online, blog, professional profile, twitter account, or the like, please be sure to do so!
