Teaching & Curriculum

Bree Stallings has led classes and community arts engagement projects at Community School of the Arts, Get Ready With Words Preschool Initiative, ImaginOn Library, C3 Lab, Discovery Place, the Sandra and Leon Levine Jewish Community Center, the McColl Center for Art + Innovation, the Mint Museum of Craft and Design, Behailu Academy, and many more.

She also has designed and written high-level curriculum based in extensive research and methodological approaches for:

The Arts Empowerment Project's Promoting Peace Program for police officers and youth in the juvenile justice system;

The Childrens' Home Society Network's See Me. Know Me. Love Me. project for youth to explore aspects of identity and perspective as they prepare to exit the foster care system.

Discovery Place - Training teachers to dispel "us vs. them" mentality for approaching classrooms in low socioeconomic resource areas.

Arts & Science Council - Culture Blocks Workshops - "How To Tell The Story Of Me And My Community" - a series of workshops focused on building story-telling scaffolding to a community so their voices can be elevated and celebrated.

Mecklenburg County Health Department's This Is Art | This Is Public Health Initiative - Leading the students of Behailu Academy to address issues of Racial Profiling In Tobacco Media, The Opioid Crisis, Food Insecurity and Inaccess, Sexual Health Advocacy and more to be expressed in a large-scale exhibition yearly.

The Light Factory's Through The Lens - Initiative started by the Light Factory and funded by the United Way providing high-level photography instruction to the students of Grier Heights, one of Charlotte's oldest historically Black communities.


"Just looked over the lessons and they are amazing. Very well thought out and they empower the youth tremendously to redefine their future and themselves. I think this will be life changing for all involved. Love the way Bree builds the lessons up to including acts of self love and then she shows and demonstrates how to love others without saying it explicitly, something that is crucial for those youth who don't know how to trust yet. To not tell them to, but to have practice do it without knowing that's exactly what they are doing is brilliant."
-- Shane Manier, Arts Empowerment Project Teaching Artist

In addition to curriculum building, Bree Stallings runs her own private and small group art lesson studio, The Learning Lab, where she teaches mixed media, drawing, acrylic & oil painting, watercolor, sketchbook habits & practices, figure drawing and intuitive mark making for adults and children of all age ranges and ability levels. The lab operates on 16-week committed cycles and currently offers lessons on weekday evenings and all day on Sundays.

Does this count, @squashblossomsocial? Making a re Does this count, @squashblossomsocial? Making a reel and being in hurry-capture-while-cute mode is the antithesis of my creative flow, but hey, I’m grateful to show to my work to so many followers. I had the realization the other day that I have as many followers to fill up our largest venue, the Belk Theater, twice. That’s wild to think about that I have two theaters full of people interested in what I do. Thanks for being along for the ride, y’all. 🥹
"I Can Make It Right" is a piece about using the p "I Can Make It Right" is a piece about using the power of paint to create things that don't exist. I long for experiences I can never have, where I can hang out and form memories with my mom and my grandmother at my age now. Above me is my mom at her current age, who is happily also benefitting from this magic moment. I so desperately wish I could know them as women, not through my child eyes, and exchange joy and advice. It would heal and nourish us then and now, as depicted by the two (R)obins (my mom's name and the two birds, one feeding and one crying for food). In this crafted memory, we are sharing a laugh after my grandmother puts something (a funny, sparkly hat) on her head. We can have these tender moments despite their hard lives. By painting it, I can make it right.

“Flight or Flight Mode” is about the fear I’ “Flight or Flight Mode” is about the fear I’ve been stuck in for the last chapter of my life. Animals lash out in fear, and seem flighty or violent but are really just wounded (broken wing/bloody tooth). It’s about how coping mechanisms can become character flaws. It’s about missing home but not being sure where home is.
