Job description

Bravo Art Services is an artist-led business based in North Vancouver (SeaBus-close!) offering professional art installation, delivery, and creative support to galleries, designers, collectors, and artists. We take pride in handling art with care, precision, and joy — mixing technical skill with creative energy.

We’re growing — and we’re looking for someone to grow with us.

This is a part-time summer role (June–August), ideal for someone who enjoys varied work, solving logistical puzzles, and working in a creative, small-business environment.

Some days you’ll assist with installations or wrapping artwork; other days, you’ll help keep things running smoothly through admin tasks, communication, and shop support. You won’t be bored — and you’ll be part of a kind, hardworking team.

We’re looking for someone reliable, resourceful, and curious — someone who cares about doing things right and brings a bit of joy to the process.

Responsibilities:

- Assist with local art deliveries and on-site installations (team-based)

- Support client communication, scheduling, and email follow-ups

- Help with logistics, document organization, and light admin

- Wrap, pack, and prep artworks for transport

- Keep the studio tidy, tools and materials organized

- Occasionally assist with framing prep (training provided)

- Be flexible and ready to roll — plans change fast in the art world, and we do our best work when we adapt with ease. — it’s art, after all :)

Qualifications:

- Comfortable working on ladders and handling tools — this is a hands-on role, and you’ll need to confidently use basic tools and safely navigate heights when needed

- Able to lift and carry up to ~50 lbs, with team support for heavier 2D or 3D artworks.

- Confident communicator — especially in writing, taking calls, or passing on clear info

- Organized and detail-oriented (especially for scheduling/logistics)

- Friendly and professional when working with clients or collaborators

- Experience in art handling, admin, or customer service is a bonus — but not required

- Driver’s license is a plus, having driven large vans an even bigger plus — though not the deal maker. Art care always comes first.

Remuneration:

This is a part-time summer role (June–August), starting at 2–3 days per week at $18/hour, with a paid trial phase and the possibility of extension if it’s a good fit — no pressure either way.
