Licensing for ArtistsCorporate to Canvas is piloting a licensing program and seeking artists interested in leading painting activities for company team building events (in San Diego and throughout the US).
This is an opportunity for artists to expand their own business while generating a second stream of income doing art. This is a model that allows for flexibility (not employment) -- essentially being your own boss with the business support and established brand of Corporate to Canvas! Please browse this website for more information about Corporate to Canvas, services offered, clients / venues we've worked with, and to see artwork examples. |

- Events take place at resorts/hotels where teams are meeting, at their office if the team is local, or at a restaurant or rented event space
- Create custom artwork (if desired by client) and have an "art gallery" of non-custom artwork
- Guide the group from the front of the room and walk around to support individuals with their specific challenges and questions
- Take photos throughout the event and group photo at end as a keepsake for the client and promotional material for you (with photo releases signed)
