art-K, a leading private art education service, is seeking enthusiastic individuals to join as Self-Employed Party Leaders for its arty birthday parties during weekends. With a vibrant network of 8000 weekly students, art-K is expanding its offerings to provide unique and creative birthday experiences. In the last few months art-K has delivered over 100 parties and expects this to continue growing in 2025.
As a Self-Employed Party Leader, you play a crucial role in ensuring the success of each 2-hour birthday party session as well as the pre-party communication, set up & tidy up. Your responsibilities include:
- Communication and Coordination: Engage with parents to coordinate and plan each party, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for all participants.
- Studio Setup and Ambience: Create an ambient studio environment for the party, setting the music up & preparing the projects in alignment with the birthday person’s requests.
- Art Workshop Leadership: Lead engaging and inspiring art workshops for party-goers, catering to various skill levels. Foster a positive and encouraging environment, sparking creativity and experimentation among attendees.
- Clean-up: Maintain high cleanliness standards by tidying up the studio after each class, leaving a welcoming space for the next session.
Teaching and Encouragement: Support children to complete their art projects, offering guidance, and encouraging them to explore their creativity whilst having fun. Midway through the workshop it may require a shake break or mini dance party to release extra energy!
