Volunteers are the heart,

head and muscle of

Gibsons Public Art Gallery

Whether it's the Gallery Attendant you meet when you walk in the door, the person who sends you your advance-notice email, the treasurer who balances the books, the unseen hero who vacuums the stairs or makes coffee for the artists receptions ... s/he is probably a volunteer. With very few exceptions, the Gallery is administered and staffed by volunteers.

Call the Gallery 604.886.0531 to learn more about volunteer opportunities to fit your time and talents ... including ...

Gallery Attendants ... If you have a couple of hours each week or each month, or now and then, consider training to be a GPAG receptionist. You'll meet interesting neighbours and tourists who share your love of art and you'll be able to view the exhibitions at your leisure.

If one of your gifts is hospitality and you love welcoming guests, setting out fine appies (and even cleaning up) ... you'll love being a GPAG Reception Assistant. This role requires only a few hours at the opening of each exhibition (about once every 6 - 8 weeks).

Like to work behind the scenes, perhaps of an evening or between exhibitions ...

Grab your painting shirt and join a GALLERY SPRUCE-UP crew!

Between every exhibition GPAG has one day, or an evening, to patch nail holes and roll a fresh coat of paint onto the gallery walls.

A couple of hours is greatly appreciated. Coffee and cookies supplied!

INSTALLING EXHIBITIONS

If you can level a level, use a hammer without hitting your thumb, gallery-clean glass, type or cut out labels ... we'll hand you a pair of white cotton gallery gloves and welcome you to the team as ... an Installation Assistant

Helping to install an exhibition is not only a creative and exercise in teamwork ... it's fun to be in on the planning, placing and pre-view of the show!
