Paint and Sip Art Instructor | Pinot's Palette West Loop

Pinot's Palette, a leader in the paint-and-sip industry, offers talented local artists an opportunity to bring art to the community through a fun and entertaining atmosphere. 
The West Loop will soon be home to a Pinot's Palette studio and we need an energetic, collaborative team of professional artists to instruct and assist our fun-filled painting events! Guests will follow your step-by-step instruction while they paint on their own gallery stretched canvases with studio quality acrylics.
What makes Pinot's Palette unique?

Lesson plans you can access online means you can easily prepare for a successful class on the go.
Ongoing training, wine tastings/product testing and quarterly (fun) team building events!
Access your upcoming schedules through our PinotAdmin.com site so you can easily plan your schedule.
We pay our artists as employees (W-2) vs contractors (1099) which means we pay a portion of your taxes for you (and you take home more).
Build your own Pinot's Palette portfolio! Participate in our national gallery of paintings and earn ongoing cash or "talent rights" for the ongoing use of your paintings nationwide.
The more times your painting is used, the more you earn! We schedule you for 4 or 5 hour blocks of time so you're in control of the entire event - set up to tear down - and get paid for it.
