Community Art Gallery Assistant
The Two4Nine community gallery is a relatively new venture where the focus is around supporting local emerging artists to exhibit their work alongside the art work of our artists in residence who have an intellectual disability. With monthly exhibitions there is always something new and exciting to view and experience.
The tasks for a Gallery Assistant are essential for the continued success of this project – we keep things simple so all you need to do is open up or close the gallery and help us to keep our welcoming atmosphere alive by having a few good stories up your sleeve.
During the weekends you'll fly solo but we do love extra help during weekdays too, splitting days into two 3 hour shifts. Almost anyone, from any background and with any level of experience can be considered because we'll show and tell you all you need to know about the gallery and any sales.
Manning the gallery includes - counting visitors, transacting sales (minimal), engaging with visitors and opening/closing the gallery.
You can do as many or as few shifts as you like but after 5 shifts we'll say thanks with the option to attend a free art workshop, as well as an offer of verbal or written reference and certificates of service if you need.
A warm and friendly smile with a wonderful sense of community spirit! '
Must enjoy working with all kinds of people and feel confident to engage with them.
You will have an appreciation of art in all its forms and although an arts qualification is helpful it is not a requirement.
Ability to work alone and unsupervised after orientation and training.
Three hour shifts are available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and days are flexible.
Shifts are from 10:00am to 1:00pm or 1:00pm to 4:00pm - or there is the option of the full day from 10:00am to 4:00pm.
