Subcontracting 101: Hiring & Being Hired as Event Artist


Listen Later

Thinking about hiring other artists or being hired for events? Alex + Cat dive deep into this controversial topic that's buzzing through the event artist / calligraphy industry right now - examining the honest pros and cons of both hiring other artists and being hired yourself.

From what makes someone totally rehire-able (or not), to the weird gray areas around pay rates and social media posting, they share their experiences from both sides of the subcontracting relationship.

Plus hear about that time Cat's engraver died mid-event and why Alex once turned DOWN subcontract work (but now loves it!).
