Acrylic Painters Needed

Grumbacher paint is looking to hire acrylic painters to teach two hours workshops at a major retailer in locations across the United States and Canada. Artists must be capable of demonstrating a still life, landscape, seascape, and floral. We have developed a flexible curriculum in acrylics for an artist to use or adapt to fit to his or her style. We plan to conduct approximately one to four workshops per store per month and the artist will have flexibility in scheduling. Compensation is $100 per workshop, and teaching materials will be provided to the artist at no cost.

Anyone who is interested email Jennifer Kopec at jkopec@chartpak.com with examples of their work in acrylics, along with a resume and contact information. (Chartpak is a manufacturer of fine art supplies. Grumbacher, Koh-I-Noor, Higgins ink, and Clearprint are some of our brands.)

Habitat ReStore - Salvage Art Show and Auction

The Habitat ReStore - Salvage Art Show and Auction is inviting artists to submit applications for the next show in October 2010. The fun part of this show is that the art has a salvaged component --what a challenge for some of us to figure into our art!

This is a fund raiser for the ReStore --details for application are at www.restoredane.org then click on art show. They had a great show and auction last year, and as always, are hoping for even a bigger event this year.
