Paint with a Twist!

  Since I am a painter, I am also interested in a job related to painting and artist. And I'm posting with the hope that there will be more jobs opportunities to maintain their living for artists and I also hope that I will get a good opportunity.

  Today I would like to introduce an art studio called ' Paint and Sip'. Founded in 2007, Painting with Twist offers live painting events in its studio with wine or cocktails. Events are held at local studios owned and operated by independent franchises. Studio artists guide guests step-by-step through the process of creating a personalized painting.

  ​The company recruits stage artists and assistants. And then the company  create  a pool of the artists to make the class, and then post the class for people who want to party while learning painting through classes designed by teaching artists. There are three different length classes. The children's class is an hour and a half, followed by a 2 hour $35 painting class and a 3 hour $45 painting class.

Today, Painting with a Twist has approximately 240+ studios open or under development in 39 states.
  ​Most of the teaching artists teach their subjects by drawing with acrylic on a canvas of size 16 x 20.
 The below is the official instagram.

As you see below, its concept is straightforward but significant. I think art comes closer to our lives than museums or galleries.

ARTogether's Mini-Grants for Artists

ARTogether's Mini-Grants for Artists

 ​Are you an artist of refuge or immigrant origin? Or have you ever wanted to do a meaningful project as an artist for people in this situation? There is a non-profit organization set up to answer this question.
Picture
  ​ARTogether’s monthly Mini-Grants for Bay Area refugee and immigrant artists awards $500 for artists for work on an ongoing art project. Grant funds may be used for artist supplies, equipment, costumes or to pay for editing or other professional work.
  • Preference will be given to refugee artists, full-time artists and to projects which are beyond the development stage.
  • Applications will be received on an ongoing basis. Awards will be announced on the 25th of each month.
  • If you have applied once and do not receive the grant that month, you do not need to apply again next month. We will consider all applications from all previous months each time we make a selection.
  • Each artist may only receive the grant once.
  • Artists must provide a follow-up to tell us how the money was spent and where the project has reached, 3 months after receiving the grant.
  • Artists should be willing to share a story about their life and work, which ARTogether will use for social media, newsletters, etc. The artist can choose to share their name and identity, so we can promote their work, or to remain anonymous.
 ​ARTogether is based in the Bay Area, the occupied, ancestral lands of the Ohlone people, who have stewarded and honored this landthroughout generations and are still here.  We acknowledge the ongoing legacies of violence against indigenous communities and people of color in this country that provide a context for our work.
Picture
  ​The above is a capture of the main content of the site. An organization called Art Together is particularly noteworthy, finding refugees from Afghanistan and providing them with much-needed art based services.
Picture
 ​ARTogether’s Afghan Community Wellness Program is a creative new approach to supporting newly-arrived Afghan refugees and parolees in our community. Combining welcoming spaces for connection with wraparound occupational therapy support and art-based activities, the Afghan Community Wellness Program works to provide community connection, essential support, and wellness resources to Afghan communities throughout the East Bay.
  ​If you are interested in this organization or are interested in many social issues, such as refugee issues and immigrant fusion issues, you may want to consider the mini-grants provided here. Below is the grant application form.

  As you can see from the above form, you should introduce the project needed to help the socially underprivileged, such as an immigrant or refugee artist in need, and write in detail the need for this project, the effectiveness of the funding, and whether additional funds are needed in the future.

Artist Fellowship with Getaway in wonderful nature environment.

 It's camping season. Summer vacation in earnest has begun. Everyone is busy figuring out how to spend their vacation. Some people have made plans in advance, but some people have already made plans for a vacation in a hurry because of their busy schedules. How do artists spend their vacation? Apparently, artists prefer a place where they get a lot of inspiration from their work life and this can lead to their work.

 And away from the chaos of the city life as much as possible, prefer a more natural, quiet, contemplative and inspirational place. If you are an artist, there is a program that you might be interested in at least once. It is a Getaway Artist Fellowship Program.

With 15 Outposts and counting, Getaway offers simple escapes to nature within two hours of major cities across the country — inviting guests to savor their free time, find balance through disconnection, and enjoy the company of those who matter most.
Picture
  ​This is a camping site where you can relax while listening to the beautiful birdsong while safely looking at the night sky in a cabin with all glass walls on one side.
Picture
 ​You can get the information by clicking on the article “Artist Fellowship Program” at the bottom of the main homepage below.
Picture
  ​Interested artists can click the red apply button below. If this application is successful, you will get a free opportunity of 2 days 1 night from this camping company.
Picture
Artist Fellows use nature as the ultimate canvas to explore their creative sides. From painters to chefs, to sculptors, and musicians, our Artist Fellowship program provides a free overnight Getaway to artists looking to harness their talents in a focused environment. 
Picture
 ​Our Artist Fellowship generally runs for 1 night, 2 days on weeknights.
Picture
 ​Artist Fellows are notified within a month if their application has been accepted or rejected. We use the term “artist” loosely - writers, illustrators, poets, chefs, game makers, urban planners — anyone who is creating is considered a good candidate for fellowship.
