Yaymaker

A typical day: paint demo, wash brushes, pick up supplies, drive to venue, set up, instruct/help/entertain people, pack up, clean paint off venue, upload album. (Repeat - often more than 7 days in a row.)
You learn to become a very efficient painter as well as vastly improving your public speaking skills.
Work place culture: everyone is great! Fantastic team right now.
Hardest part: managing expectations when people get really freaked out if their painting doesn’t look stellar right off the bat. Or breaking down a painting that has been digitally altered and still put on your schedule.
Best part: getting paid to do what I love.

You are basically a freelance contractor with the company, not employed by them. Depending on the team you work with, the culture can change. My team in Toronto is amazing and I wouldn't work with anyone else. Most of the time during events you do them solo, so this is only a job for those comfortable in organizing and teaching without help. There is a training period, of course, but after that the job is done on your own. You can pick locations and timing of your events, which is very good for people that need flexibility. It is easy to give away shifts as well.

This is not only a super flexible job and hours but also super fun! 

The biggest thing i have learned is that i learn everyday! From all the different beautiful human beings i meet at events and from our team to our guests and to the bar staffs and their regulars included. 

Management is easy to talk too and is super humane and always willing to find a resolution with you. And this goes for the team too!

The hardest part of the job to me is trying to not paint on the guests' canvas. 

The culture : Make YAY all day! :D 

The most enjoyable part of the job is that i not only get to make some art but i get to spread some art making around too!

A very fun job, very flexible. The management is great. They really relate to the artists and provide any assistance and support at all times.
Usually, you will get assigned the dates that you are available with room for taking more or fewer events, depending on your availability. 
A car is required as you have to transport all supplies to the event places. 
The managers were always available to take any concerns, especially during the events. 
The people that attend to Paint are usually nice and everyone is there just have fun and relax. This creates a great atmosphere and energy at every event.

Work evenings , 4 hour  shifts, teaching people how to paint while having fun.
Learnet people skills, public speaking, organization skills
My students are my managers, they rate my work after every class
I work by myself with an assistant and we are perfect team
I'm a positive person and try not to stop at the negatives
Most enjoyable part would be people, students and teaching them new skills. Making them try new things while having fun.

I worked for paint nite for two years. Had to switch careers for benefits however this was a great job for me personally and the management was really understanding and empathetic to my life situations. She is a great woman to work for. Be real and reliable and respect your kit and her property and you won’t have any problems.

At the end of the day I get paid to paint so not terrible. Pay works out to just over minimum wage for what you need to spend hourly. Tips help. Most of the paintings are boring or there is no info on them or you have done it a bunch before. A ton of the events get cancelled so not a job to rely on

A typical day at work for me is to sit at my computer and organize events. Ive learned alot of time management and to deal with the public. Iam the management for my area. The hardest part of the job can be the people. the most enjoyable part of the job is defiantly getting to teach, something i loved doing as a customer.

Basically run the events all on your own, and have the flexibility of running events when you want. Really enjoyed the role of teaching and being able to do what I love. 

Pitfalls: last minute cancellations from classes, a lot of work without an assistant

Love the instructing and hosting aspect of this job. However the management of the company is basically nonexistent. Late payments. Zero communication when issues arise. Bad contracts.
