We are going to introduce you to the largest Art and Craft Concessionaire company in the country, discuss our relationships within over 60 different amusement parks and zoos all over the country, as well as our event services and other event companies we are involved with. We will go into detail about our local relationships in the area and how you can build a career within our company. We will also be doing live product demonstrations that you can participate in, and introduce you to the process and history of our products. There will be a focus on the art of Airbrushing, Caricatures, Henna, and Face Painting at this presentation, as well as displays of our finished products that we produce at our events and on location. You will have an opportunity to use our equipment to try out the art of airbrushing, and we will be handing out paper and markers to those who would like to participate in our Caricature lesson and try your hand at drawing. We will also discuss career opportunities that our company has available locally, but also in different locations throughout the country. We do training for all of our art forms and being able to draw is not a requirement, so all are welcome to attend to find out more about this exciting and fun industry we work in!
