I’m looking for a skilled fabric/drapery artist who can create custom drape designs for event installations, photo backdrops, and staging. This is more than just hanging curtains—I need someone who understands fabric artistry, folds, swooshes, pleats, and creative draping techniques.
Examples of what I’m looking for:
• Elegant, cascading folds and swooshes (see sample photo references).
• Layered, pleated designs that add depth and texture.
• Dramatic fabric installations for walls, stages, and tables.
• Ability to work with different fabrics (satin, velvet, polyester, etc.).
The project(s):
• Backdrop designs for branded events and activations.
• Decorative draping for tables, walls, and staging.
• Must be able to bring creative ideas and execute them with a polished, professional finish.
Important Note:
We own all of the drapery fabric — we just need an artist who can design and install it creatively.
We will provide the designs, and the artist must be able to create them to our specifications.
Requirements:
• Experience in drapery, fabric design, or event production.
• Strong eye for symmetry, layering, and creative fabric manipulation.
• Must have portfolio or photos of past work.
• Access to tools/supplies a plus (but can be provided if needed).
Compensation:
Pay is negotiable depending on skill and scope of the project. Please reply with:
• Your experience/background
• Portfolio or sample work photos
• Availability and rates
Looking forward to collaborating with someone creative who can bring these fabric visions to life!
