Position Type: Part Time
Salary Range: $16.00 - $18.00 Hourly
Who We Are
Muse Paintbar is a guided painting experience with 26 studios across the East Coast. Acrylic paint, easels, a bar and kitchen, and a few hundred people a week who show up, some of whom are fully confident that they have no artistic ability whatsoever. They leave with a painting they're proud of, a good story, and a memorable experience. We're not a gallery, and we're not a classroom. We're a great night out that happens to involve a paintbrush.
Who You Are
You can paint, and you can get other people to paint, which is the harder skill. You're comfortable with a mic and a room full of faces looking at you. Acrylics are second nature. You like making people laugh, and you give people the confidence to create, have fun, and enjoy the process, even if painting is completely new to them.
The Role
The Art Instructor is the star of the event. You're on stage leading the painting, hosting the party, and making sure food and drinks actually land. Two hours, one canvas, and a room of people who walked in sure they couldn't do this.
What You’ll Own
-
The Painting
- Prep Muse signature paintings to our guidelines and hang the approved master above the stage before each session
- Use provided templates to break the painting into steps a first-timer can follow
- Lead the session start to finish, keeping the room engaged and the clock on track
-
The Floor
- Support painting sessions with step-by-step guidance, keeping the room engaged and on time
- Print attendee lists, assign group seating, and set up palettes before doors open
- Greet guests, get them to their seats, hand out aprons
- Point guests to the menu and take care of food and drink needs at the bar and tableside
- Check in with painters throughout the session and take additional orders
- Help capture photos during the session for social media
