VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENT
Accepted artists become members of the gallery and are expected to participate in ways that support the gallery’s success. This includes volunteering on site (typically two, but may be three 4-hour shifts during the show). Shifts will be determined by the number of artists accepted into each show. Schedules will be mutually set and onsite training is provided. NOTE: Artists who cannot volunteer on site during gallery hours may delegate their shifts to a friend or family member.

There is also a limited number of other volunteer roles needed to run the gallery that don’t require working on site. These are based on Gallery need and may not be the same for every show. To inquire, please contact Outreach Director Aline Lindemann at [email protected]
