Seeking Artist to help with an art show *get wall space as part of pay

4615 Lankershim Blvd, Los Angeles CA

Description

I am creative director, resident artist, and curator of gallery at The Comedy Chateau North Hollywood. I also have a Master in Fine Arts from Savannah College of Art & Design, I have been published in 7 international magazines (National Geographic being my first at age 20), and I am a master printer who has invented a new way to print in the dark room. I am also a large-scale painter, and paint on stage at festivals and shows. So the time has come to do my retrospective even though I am only 36, I have created literally a room full of art (not kidding, my guest bedroom is almost filled. On July 26th I am hosting the first monthly event “Creations and Comedy” that will essentially be a creative circus for all forms of entertainment from live music, art, and comedy to artists booths and creative performances of all kinds. Anything and everything that provides uplifting entertainment for a full day and evening event. Even though there will be multiple artists, each month I will be the featured and will be showcasing my large scale paintings as well as my light box art that includes a new way to print in the darkroom using 35 mm film and not Photoshop. I took me close to a decade to invent and perfect and I am the process of speaking with Kodak for sponsorship for my achievement in the world of analog printing and photography. The photo you see is of me and the smaller creation I make, as they can get up to 5 feet long and paintings can reach up to 12 feet high. You can see the rest of my work at www.arcphotography.com. Description: I need assistance in marketing the event, reaching out to sponsors and other artist, email follow-up, and perfecting the art being presented at the show. That would entail things like making price stickers and frame building. You must be ok to work with a table saw and other power tools and have transportation. Compensation: $50 a week plus access to free materials/studio space for six week trial, this is an internship. You will also have a wall to hang a piece of work if it suits the vibe of the gallery and has a nice price point. In terms of how many hours, will be up to you. If I could just 1-3 days that would be a game changer. Also, food will be provided at lunch. This is about joining something big from the ground up. This assistance job could land you a permanent job with me or The Comedy Chateau. I will be teaching classes in the summer and will need a partner who will get a pay check. You will learn more than you can keep up and you will have access to a plethora of paints, canvases, frames, and tools. You are also welcome to use one of my studio spaces for your own work if you need more space as long as your materials will be controlled (no paint stains please). I can also teach you how to shoot film if you so desire as well as most everything on Photoshop as I have been working on it for 17 years. Also, I have a mini woodshop so you will learn a lot about wood working. You will make tons of connections and will be working with me either in my beautiful studio in Sunland or at the amazing Comedy Chateau in North Hollywood. I am 420 friendly, super fun and funny, and love making me laugh. I am easy going and also super silly BUT a very hard worker. There is no reason we can’t kick but and be cracking jokes at the same time. This is a very exciting and fun job and if we sell out the show, and we make a great team, we will re-negotiate your terms. This is a great starting point for an artist who is looking for their career path. I can help. I am also looking to adding another knight to my round table because in my business, everyone’s opinion matters and I encourage input and ideas at any point. I look forward to meeting my next badass.
