Art Instructor | Muse Paintbar | Somerville/Assembly Row

Salary Range $18.00 - $20.00 Hourly Position Type Part Time

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.

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 ylics 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 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.

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

The reset.

• Break down and clean up after the session so the studio is ready for whatever's next

The kitchen.

• When you're the assigned Cook, prep and plate food orders with attention to presentation and safety
• Work the kitchen checklist, keep the space clean, and stay on top of equipment and safety standards

The team dynamic.

• As an Art Instructor, you'll be cross-trained to share the load, cover where you're needed, and keep the guest experience the priority

The Schedule.

• Part-time, averaging 15 to 25 hours a week. Days, evenings, and weekends, with most of the volume on nights and weekends.

• Standing for long stretches
• Stepping onto and off of elevated surfaces frequently
• Frequent bending, reaching, moving, and lifting up to 50 pounds
• Moving through the studio quickly and safely, including tight spaces and raised surfaces like the stage
• Comfortable in a fast-paced environment with music and large groups

• Competitive hourly rate
• Paid sick time
• TIPS and Serv Safe certification covered
• Flexible part-time scheduling
• Free use of the studio and supplies when we're closed
• Free gallery space to display and sell your own work without commission fees
