This is a listing of tasks the different committees need people for. There are varying skills and schedules for the different tasks to help you find the right fit. Keep an eye on the private Facebook page and the website calendar for upcoming meetings and events. GALLERY COMMITTEE GALLERY DOCENTS The Holidays are upon us!!! MANY THANKS to all the new gallery docents! We still need coverage for some hours each week, especially at this busy time of year. This position is a good match for folks that enjoy interacting with people and having a low-stress, regularly scheduled commitment. Schedule is managed through the app Homebase. If you want to show work in our Members Gallery section, being a docent is part of the exchange. (and the more hours we’re open, the more opportunity for Collective artists to sell their work!) If this sounds like a good fit for you, email Joy Bender Hadley at joybhadley@gmail.com with “Gallery Docent” in the subject line. INVENTORY TRACKER As artists and their works are added, sold and swapped in the members gallery, the Inventory Tracker will be responsible for maintaining a record of what work is in the gallery via spreadsheet and Square (our POS program). They would also be responsible for printing/hanging labels. This position is part of the gallery committee, but also works with the finance committee as sales are made and artists are added or removed from the gallery. If this sounds like a good fit for you, email Matt Johnson at jattmohnson9@gmail.com with “Gallery Inventory Tracker” in the subject line. GALLERY COMMITTEE It takes many hands and brains to keep the gallery running smoothly and if you’re interested in being part of that, now is a good time to join the gallery committee. Meeting times are posted on the “Calendar” section of our website. This committee needs people with imagination, and a variety of skills who enjoy being part of a team! If this sounds like a good fit for you, email Matt Johnson at jattmohnson9@gmail.com with “Gallery Committee” in the subject line. PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMITTEE COMMITTEE CHAIRPERSON The awesome Taryn has moved onto her next adventure and it’s time to find a new chairperson for the PR Committee. Such a person would be working with the team (the people putting out this newsletter- for example) to make sure the community gets to learn about the collective, our various events and all other collective-related info. If this sounds like a good fit for you, email Alan McAnulty at alan@mcanultydesign.com with “PR Committee Chair” in the subject line. MEMBER RELATIONS COMMITTEE SEEKING COMMITTEE MEMBERS The Membership Committee is the youngest committee and would like a few more brains to help with designing and implementing systems that will help membership and intra-collective communication run smoothly. If you’re a newer member or have been a member for a while, your insight, ideas and feedback would be valuable for this committee. If this sounds like a good fit for you, email Ruby Miller at r.andromeda.n@gmail.com with “Membership Committee” in the subject line. GATHERINGS COMMITTEE LOCAL EVENT SCOUT If you’re the kind of person who likes knowing what’s going on, the Gathering committee would like to have you on their team. This role would mean researching and staying current on local events that the Collective should have a presence at and how to get in touch or involved with these events. If this sounds like a good fit for you, email Sabrina Langdon at sabrinaleighstudios@gmail.com with “Gatherings Event Scout” in the subject line.Copyright © 2019 Marquette Artist Collective, All rights reserved.
