Artist Looking for a Job?

Dear Artist,

I'm looking for an enthusiastic teacher to come teach our Friday and Saturday night Painting events. I need someone who can really engage people in painting in a simple, step-by-step process. The people taking these classes aren't going to be artists. They are just people who want to enjoy the painting process and make something beautiful for their homes or for their friends. They like to bring wine or beer to these events, so I need a teacher who is comfortable with that.

We've held lots of these parties before, and we have a lot of paintings that are quite popular. If you could learn some of these paintings and teach them, that would be fantastic! But there will also be plenty of opportunity for you to design your own unique paintings for these parties.

Now you won't really be an employee, but a contractor. This is better than an employee, because we will be able to afford to pay you more. Instead of paying you by the hour, we will pay by the student.

This may mean that you have to invest some time in "pounding the pavement" a little bit and drumming up some business for yourself. You wont be on your own, of course. Bear Hands is excited to offer these classes again, so you can be sure that we will advertise them as much as possible.

We want to start by scheduling two classes a week, from 6-8pm on Fridays and Saturdays. If you have a lot of people, we can get you a helper, so don't be afraid of classes of 20 people or more. And the more private parties you book, the better you get paid. We will provide you with the materials for your classes, and the space to teach them.

But I need to hear from you very soon. We have almost picked a new location for our business and we are already building our fall class schedules. If you are insterested in this job, and if you think your presence in this company will help us grow and create a welcoming, creative, fun environment, then please email me your resume (or just a summery of your qualifying experience is fine) and a short cover letter. Or give me a call.
