Previous office experience is preferred but not essential.
Hospitality & Special Events
The Gallery hosts many special events during the year including opening receptions, and private functions. Positions in hospitality involve greeting (information providers,) set-up/take down, coat check, manning of membership tables, and serving food and drinks, etc.
Education
Family Sundays: Family Sundays are offered once per month, October through March from 2 – 4 pm. Each event focuses on a current exhibition or related topic, offering the participants the opportunity to make art, learn about the art and to have fun. Volunteers facilitate the children’s art making and help with the set up and take down of the event. These volunteers should be comfortable working with children and have some experience with children’s art making.
