Volunteering
is a great experience where you can meet other artists; it's a
lot of fun; and you get to learn a lot about how an art exhibit
is installed and organized. Since Untitled is a
volunteer-based, artist-run group, it needs your help!
All
exhibiting artists (and non-exhibiting artists, too) are
encouraged to volunteer their time to help install the show,
host the event, and uninstall the show. Please let us know what
you can do to help. The volunteer schedule will be finalized at
the drop-off. PLEASE BE SURE TO CONFIRM YOUR VOLUNTEER
ASSIGNMENT AT THE DROP-OFF (even if you are not exhibiting).
We especially need assistance with the installation on Thursday
and the clean-up on Saturday. If at all possible, please
plan to be available for at least a couple of hours on those
days. A special place in artists' heaven (and also some pizza)
is reserved for those who stay all day on Thursday.
No shame if you can't help out this time, but please do if you
can. Also, please remember that Untitled is just a bunch
of artists working together to make shows happen. Please
be kind to each other.
Click on the
volunteer shift below to learn more about it.
For
every show, we need at least 6 people to fill the chair
positions. You can also be a co-chair and work with
another person to lead that team of volunteers.
Check out the
list of chair positions to the left to see if there is something
you can help with or would like to learn.
Most chair
positions require no previous experience!
For
every show, we also need volunteers to sign up for specific
shifts so we can make sure that all areas are covered and the
show runs as smooth as possible.
Volunteer shifts
require no previous experience!
