Roles and Times

Before the Show:

• Getting show cards out all over town… as soon as they are done (likely Friday)
• Receiving work Friday + Saturday, 12-6, no exp. necisary (2-4 people each day)
• take down current show, paint, sunday, 5- completion (2 -3 strong people)
• organize, hang show Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, hours ranging from noon til late

(many people, ideally with art handling experience- previous salon-hanging an invaluable plus!)

Opening Night:

• Last minute finishing touches, labels? cleaning, set up, 3-6pm ( 3 or more would be really good! all hands on deck!)

During the opening

Each role is in a 2 or 3 hour shift, starting at 6pm, going till 12am

• Alcohol monitors: pick up empties, make sure no drinks come in or out of the space, make sure minors aren’t drinking (3 per 2 hr shift)
• Food table: keep the food looking nice, tend to trash, restock stuff (1 or 2 per 3hr shift)
• Sales: wear a name tag and make yourself available for people who want to buy, fill out paperwork & make copies, mark work sold, handle cash at the bar. (3 per 2 hr shift)
• Clean up/break down: we need a few brave souls to help shut it down at the end of the night, including sweeping, spot mop, bar shut down, sound equipment breakdown, general tidying. (2-3 solid people)

I can’t emphasize how much your help makes a difference at the end of the night!! Hang late and depressurize and help put it all back together.
