We are looking for artists (Hobby, self-taught & professional welcome) with fun & outgoing personalities to join our awesome crew of creatives! If you have an outgoing personality with a big love for art & enjoy having fun & think you might have what it takes to be an Artist- Entertainer we encourage you to apply!
Our classes are all about having fun, enjoying great music (singing and dancing optional but always encouraged) and letting loose for some creative outlet.
Selected candidate will work as a floor assistant until they have been trained and are ready to teach as a stage painting Instructor/ entertainer. For some this happens quickly, others may take a bit. We work with you to make it happen in a timeframe that fits.
Our ideal candidate is very outgoing, loves to paint, is highly energetic, able to let loose, have a great time, reliable & understands that drama is not for the work place. If you're not "The Best" painter, no worries. We can teach you how to improve your painting skills... but we cannot teach how to have an awesome and outgoing personality. No art degree required. Most of our current artists are self taught and have improved their skills while working with us.
After initial training (anywhere from 2 weeks, to 3 months), you will be able to guide a group of people to paint an acrylic painting in 2-3 hours in a super fun "Party Vibe" kinda way. Our Artists also perform other tasks including set-up and clean up as needed. We primarily host evening & weekend classes, but events can be held any day/night 7 days a week for both kids and adults. Friday and/or Saturday availability is required, and reliable transportation + living within a 20-minute commute of our Studio is preferred.
Some of our private events are held in offsite locations, these require transportation to and from the event in reliable transportation, setting up at the offsite location, breaking down and clean up at the offsite location and returning equipment back to the studio.
