JOB VACANCY

LIFE DRAWING HOST

 

Join Our Creative Community!

We’re looking for a friendly, confident soul to host our relaxed, arty socials across Manchester, Liverpool, and beyond. If you love art, people, and don’t mind moving a chair or two, this could be for you. This is a freelance role for 1 session p/week with potential to increase, as the company grows. Sessions typically run evenings and weekends.​​

To apply, just drop an email to lisa@lifedrawingwithhop.com, with a few lines about yourself and why you’d be a good fit!

Tips - Keep it snappy, under 200 words! I’m your classic dyslexic artist, so anything longer will probably switch my brain off. Images are welcomed, if you are an artist and have a insta for art that would be great to include, if not 4 images of your art is plenty.

Deadline - Sunday 4th May

  • Taking care of our models – making sure they’re comfy and have everything they need
     

  • Welcoming drawers – signing them in with a smile and explaining how it all works
     

  • Talking in front of people – giving a short intro, timing the poses, guiding drawing prompts, announcing the break, and wrapping things up
     

  • Taking photos and videos – capturing the session for our socials and sending over
     

  • Chatting with attendees / giving feedback
     

  • Prepping and cleaning away the snack table where applicable (only at some venues)
     

  • Packing down / load out – leaving the space clean and tidy, keeping equipment organised ready for next time
