Tenure Track Assistant Art Professor Cover Letter Sample

Dear Hiring Manager,

As an Adjunct Art Lecturer and Doctorate of Fine Arts graduate, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I am currently a part-time Adjunct Lecturer at the University of Sunnybank, where I teach undergraduate Color Theory and Contemporary Art. I employ a range of traditional and progressive methodology in the planning and delivery of instruction in physical and virtual settings, with an emphasis on incorporating experiential learning whenever possible. 

I see myself as an educator, not just an instructor. I promote a flexible, supportive, and dynamic learning environment and encourage students to challenge the material and ask how we can use our knowledge to question the choices we make. I am particularly pleased at the average 97% pass rate my students achieve.

In addition to my lecturing experience and doctorate studies, I hold a Master of Contemporary Art and a Bachelor of Education. As an active artist, I recently exhibited my paintings at the Swan Gallery in Colorado. My work can be viewed at www.candidatename.com. I also organize and lead children’s art classes, camps, workshops, and family programs for the gallery.

I now seek a full-time tenure track Assistant Art Professor opportunity that will enable me to deliver stimulating courses to the next generation of art professionals.

Please find attached my curriculum vitae for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours sincerely,

Emma Smith
