About Raw Canvas

At Raw Canvas, we believe that everyone has a creative side waiting to be discovered!

We're a Calgary-based creative studio that brings people together through painting, laughter, and memorable experiences. From Paint & Sip nights and Paint Your Pet sessions to birthdays, bachelorette parties, and corporate team-building events, we make art approachable, exciting, and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of experience.

We're looking for our next Master Artist — someone who's creative, confident, outgoing, and just as passionate about people as they are about painting.
