Join the Team

I am looking for freelance artists to join my team! 

​

Have you ever thought about becoming a live artist? Perhaps you’ve made a start but can’t seem to get things to take off.

With 800+ enquiries a year, I'm looking to build a team of talented and reliable artists and illustrators to paint at events.

 

This would suit an early or mid-career artist who is looking for support to develop their practise and business skills, or for artists working full-time wanting to bring in some more income.

The Art 

I am looking for an artist who can create ‘Guest Portraits’ for weddings and events - live!

 

 I am open to a range of styles, sketching, painting or even digital art. They could be facial portraits or fashion style sketches.

​

You should be confident in your artistic ability as the roles will require you to create many portraits in a short space of time. 

 

This is a freelance position, so you will not be directly employed by the company, but you will represent the brand and receive support from myself to develop your own business. 

​

Compensation can range from £250-600 per day depending on experience. 

Requirments

You should be an artist who is confident in your medium. You will regularly practise your art form and have a strong portfolio of work. 

​

You should be confident interacting with others, this job is very social as you will be painting at events!

​

It is essential that you have your own car/transport and driving license as you will need to travel to events that, most of the time, you cannot access by public transport. 

​

You should be self-driven, professional and organised. You will be working for yourself as a freelance artists. You will be representing the company and brand when going to events. 

​

You should be happy to work weekends (most events are on a Saturday). You can choose the events you work. You should be dedicated once you have committed to that event - these events are big moment in people's lives and we strive to not let them down. 

​

Reliability is a must. 

​

Living near Nottingham or the Midlands would be a bonus so that we can have a regular meeting in person, although not necessary as we can meet on video chat.

 

​
 

Support

 As part of this opportunity I want to help you grow as a business person and as an artist. To do this I will provide:

​

A profile on the business website which receives hundreds of visitors looking for a live painter every day. 

​

A brochure to send to clients who enquire; I have received 700 enquiries this year alone and I can only paint 60 events! 

​

Support getting you set up; with guidance on what equipment to buy, what to wear and how events and weddings work. 

​

Regular/monthly meetings to catch up and support you with development. 

​

Bookings will be managed through the online booking portal and I will offer support and guidance on how to manage projects.

​

Mentoring for all things self-employed and being a full-time artist. 

​

Support to level up your skill set and to help you reach your goals.
