Cocktails on Canvas Open call to artists, art students, recent fine arts graduates, art teachers and creative entertainers to partner with Cocktails ‘n Canvas! What is Cocktails ‘n Canvas? Cocktails ‘n Canvas elevates the popular BYOB drinking-and- painting concept by taking it out of fluorescent-lit studios and into charming restaurants, bars and lounges. Basically, an artist walks 35 people through a step-by-step painting while at a local bar. This is a painting PARTY, not a painting CLASS; these are social events with low- key painting instruction. Please check out www.cocktailsncanvas.com and our Facebook page at www.facebook/cocktailsncanvas.com to better understand what we do. Some basic qualifications: 1. Must be outgoing, comfortable with a crowd, able to roll with the punches & handle challenges; 2. Must be able to break down a painting step-by-step (similar to Bob Ross's style - if you are too young to remember Bob Ross, YouTube him!); 3. Must be able to do physical labor (lifting paint jugs and boxes of canvases); 4. Must be willing to work at least 2 events a week (nights 6:30pm-9:30pm); between Sunday- Thursday; 5. Must be 19 and over (parties take place in bars)!; 6. Must be able to upload photos to Facebook. If you want to make money, love the arts, want to be the host of the party and love to socialize - this is for you! To apply, complete the Artist profile form on our website, include contact details, a resume or link to your website and send 1-3 photos of your work to info@cocktailsncanvas.com.
