🎨 Host Art Meetups in Shibuya, Tokyo: Connect Global Art Lovers!

P: Unleash Your Passion for Art in Global Shibuya!

Dreaming of working in an international environment without leaving Japan? Welcome Japan is your chance! We're a vibrant international community where art enthusiasts from all over the world connect with Japanese participants right here in Shibuya, Tokyo. We're looking for a passionate host to lead our art meetups in Shibuya, creating a space where diverse levels of participants can connect through art and share inspiration. If you love art, this is your opportunity to build a truly special community!

R: We're Looking for Your Art-Loving Hospitality and Basic Art Skills

In this role, your main focus won't be teaching art lessons. Instead, you'll be the one fostering a welcoming atmosphere and facilitating interaction among attendees. Our meetups attract a diverse crowd: 20% professional artists, 60% semi-professionals, and 20% complete beginners. With many pros in the mix, the goal isn't to compete on skill, but to create an environment where everyone respects each other's work, shares ideas, and inspires one another.

However, it's essential that you have basic knowledge of art materials and processes (like how to use acrylic paints and brushes). This will allow you to confidently and simply explain fundamental techniques to beginners, even in the presence of more experienced artists.
