Subject: Looking For Acrylic Instructors - Greater San Luis Obispo, CA

Dear Staff,

I am writing to you in hopes that you might know of some artists in the greater San Luis Obispo, CA area with whom to share the following job opportunity. I would greatly appreciate it if you’d pass this message along to any individual or organization in the area that might be interested.

Grumbacher paint is looking for accomplished artists who can teach two hour workshops at a major retailer. Specifically, we are looking for those capable of demonstrating a still life, landscape, seascape, and floral. We have developed a flexible curriculum in acrylics for an artist to use or to adapt it to fit the artist’s style. Compensation is $100/workshop.

We plan to conduct approximately one to four workshops per store per month and the artist will have flexibility in their scheduling. The workshops will be geographically located all over the U.S and Canada. All teaching materials will be provided to the artist at no cost.

If you or anyone you know may be interested please have them email Sasha DeMarino @ sdemarino@chartpak.com .

Interested Artist please include your location (City, State)

(Chartpak is a manufacturer of fine art supplies. Grumbacher, Koh-I-Noor, Higgins ink, and Clearprint are some of our brands.)

Thank you in advance for any help you might offer,

Sasha DeMarino
