Summer/Fall 2022 Paid Art Projects

Queen City Creatives! We are in the process of assembling ideas for weekend and weekday pop-up creative events we’ll be organizing in the summer and early fall in the South End area and beyond.

We’re looking for local creatives who are interested in one-off engagements, both on-the-street for the public and inside companies for employees. Here are examples of the kinds of live events we’re looking for (but, by all means, hit us with other ideas):

  • Live Painting/Drawing
  • Musical Performance
  • Music Therapy
  • Creative Meditation Exercises
  • Knitting, Crochet, Needlepoint
  • Shoe Painting
  • Fashion Design/Sewing
  • Hand Lettering
  • Lego Art
  • Sculpting
  • Locally Created Video Games
  • Weaving/Carving
  • Floral Arrangements
  • Spoken Word Performance
  • Dance
  • Caricature
  • Collage
  • On-Site Photography
  • Upcycling

These should be fun and instructive activities that show off your talents while entertaining small audiences and/or inviting them to learn a new skill quickly. Here are some of the parameters:

  • Engagements will be 2-4 hours in length
  • Budgets will be between $350 and $600 each, including costs of materials
  • You will supply all materials used during your pop-up
  • In most cases, you will handle load-in and out of your materials
  • Charlotte Is Creative will make all arrangements and handle all payments

We cannot guarantee that you will be selected, but if you would like to be considered for this or a future opportunity, share your information below by June 1, 2022.
