Part-Time Artist Studio Assistant

[carringtonmoore]

Local painter Carrington Moore is looking for a part-time studio assistant to help keep the creative engine running smoothly.

Carrington is a globally recognized painter whose work has been featured alongside leading authors around the world. Based in West Seattle, she’s currently deep in several major upcoming projects and is looking for someone to support the day-to-day operations of her studio.

About the Role

This is a long-term, growth-oriented position — not a temporary gig. Hours vary, averaging around 10 hours per week, with flexibility depending on workflow and project timelines.

What You’ll Be Doing

Packing and shipping artwork orders

Managing inventory

Developing and maintaining systems for archiving and tagging artwork (both digitally and physically)

Assisting with project management tasks alongside the artist

Coordinating with a small team (one digital community assistant and one digital marketer)

Optional (depending on interest): stretching and de-stretching canvas

This role is ideal for someone who loves creating structure behind the scenes and wants to be involved in the inner workings of a working artist’s studio.

What We’re Looking For

A deep interest in art

Strong organizational instincts

Comfort with physical activity (lifting, moving artwork, packing materials)

Someone excited about building systems and improving workflows

Perks

$25/hour

Access to a private studio space that’s currently being designed — you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to shaping the environment

A chance to grow with a studio that’s expanding and see how a small art business is managed

Location

West Seattle

If you’re organized, hands-on, and excited about supporting an active, evolving art practice, this could be a great fit. Please reach out with a short introduction about yourself and why you’re interested.

Dear Carrington,
I recently moved to West Seattle and looking for art related work. I am a jewelry and woodworking artist and small (1 person) business owner. I understand and appreciate tracking, packing, and multi-tasking to ship inventory to customers. I am highly organized, dependable, flexible and easy to work with. I am accustomed to electronic organization of inventory (supply, customer communications, etc) and care of quality and appearance with shipping. Plus management of shipping supplies, financial receipts, and mindfulness of brand reputation. I use social media accounts to advertise and sell my inventory, in addition to customer engagement. My small business interests would not conflict with your studio needs at all. I am well accustomed to computer data entry, plus able to physically package and ship orders. Please let me know if my reply is of interest to you. My contact information was sent via your website.

Hello,

My name is Aidan Tower, I come from a family of artists and grew up doing all I could to help my mother with her interior design showroom. Most of my career has been working for Amazon and Microsoft developing internal processes and while also focusing on continuous improvement. Currently I find myself yearning to be back working closely with art. I believe I have all the tools to be a valued member of the team.

I would love a chance to come in and introduce myself and see how our goals align. Thank you for your time and have a great day!

Hello, Carrington Moore and Team,

My name is Aranza, and I am an aspiring artist with an understanding of multiple painting mediums.

Hi Carrington,
Excited to see this posting! I sent a reply on your website but let me know if there is a better way to continue the conversation.
I have some experience and skills that I think could really support this role such as Project Management, Marketing Operations, service industry, and self employment as an Art Therapist. Would love to grow with your team and dial in systems that truly support your needs. I appreciate the time it takes to review replies like mine, and hope you will consider me a candidate

Warmly,
RJ Loch

Hello Carrington & team,

My name is Christopher Parks and I would love to be considered for your studio assistant position. I grew up here in Seattle, and currently manage a bakery in Wallingford. I have spent many years making art, I had an amazing teacher in prep school who first fostered a great love for all mediums(but watercolor is my favorite). I went to the summer program at RISD, did a stint at Cornish and have spent many hours in the different programs available here in Seattle. I have always loved the beautiful mix of artists here in the PNW, and would love to get to work alongside you! I have strong organization and inventory skills from 10+ years in the food industry but am looking to pivot back to art as my main focus in my day to day. Thank you for your time!

Hi Carrington

I’m a local artist and nonprofit administrator here in West Seattle. For the past few years, I’ve been managing a local nonprofit community theatre, “Blue Hour Theatre Group“. I produce marketing materials, secure grants, and run front-of-house during performances. I love working directly with patrons, cast, and crew, ensuring they have a good experience and feel taken care of from start to finish.

Most recently, I designed the new website for the West Seattle Art Tour. I also design sites and assist with social media marketing for individual artists and small businesses.

I believe my background working behind the scenes, along with my passion for the arts, align nicely with your needs.

Yours
Cat Brooks

Hello!

I’m a West Seattle–based painter, art educator, and musician, and your post immediately caught my attention. Carrington Moore’s work is stunning! I love the idea of supporting the “creative engine” behind an active studio practice.

I bring a mix of hands-on arts experience and strong organizational skills. I’ve worked in a similar support role for a renowned Canadian musical artist. I managed the day to day operations of her indie label. I oversaw an online shop, handled website updates, and fulfilled orders. I’m very comfortable with packing and shipping artwork, managing inventory, and keeping systems organized and functional.

In addition, I have many years of experience in administrative roles—marketing, communications, and development—which has made me highly detail-oriented and skilled at building and maintaining systems. I genuinely enjoy creating structure behind the scenes so creative work can thrive.

As a working artist myself, I’d be excited to contribute to your studio and support your process. I also love the idea of being part of a growing studio environment and helping refine workflows.

I am seeking part time arts related work. I am available and flexible.

I’d love to connect and learn more.
Warmly,
Adrienne Pierce
