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
