\nGallery attendants play an important role in visitor management. Attendants are responsible for greeting visitors, answering questions, and providing information on Centre A and our exhibitions to the public.\u00a0<\/span>Attendants should be interested in learning and sharing about artists and their work, and conduct themselves in a friendly manner.\u00a0<\/span>In addition to attending the gallery, we often engage Gallery Attendants with a variety of marketing, administration, and library-related tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nArguably the most fun role, Install Assistants assist our curatorial staff, contract technicians, and artists with the installation and\/or de-installation of artwork. Tasks include wall patching and painting, installing hanging hardware, assisting with wiring AV equipment, art unpacking and packing, and other safe and low-risk tasks.\u00a0<\/span>Shifts are periodic, occurring on installation and de-installation days prior to and after exhibitions. Gallery Manager will send out a call for installation assistants <\/span>no later than one week<\/span> prior to the installation and de-installation dates. Stay tuned!\u00a0<\/span>This is a great opportunity for someone looking to gain experience working alongside artists and technicians.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nSkilled in photo-documentation of exhibitions and events, Photographers help us record Centre A\u2019s history.\u00a0<\/span>Ideally, Photographers would be capable of committing to a few afternoons and evenings per month. Most shifts are 1~3 hours. For qualifying professionals who may like to donate their services, a donation of services arrangement may be possible.\u00a0<\/span>Photos will be taken for archival and marketing purposes, and when the photos are used for promotional materials, or on our social media, a credit will always be given.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nLocated in Vancouver\u2019s Chinatown, Centre A values opportunities to engage our neighbours and the Chinese-speaking community at large. Volunteer Translators should be able to read and write fluently in Traditional Chinese and\/or Simplified Chinese.\u00a0<\/span>Translators\u2019 tasks include translating exhibition texts and writing promotional materials for exhibitions, so knowledge of art and art history vocabulary is a strong asset. For qualifying professionals who would like to donate their services, a donation of services arrangement may be possible.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nEvent Assistants help run Centre A\u2019s opening receptions, panel discussions, artist talks, screenings, from set-up to clean-up, and everything in between.\u00a0<\/span>Event Assistants should be friendly, attentive, and capable of working well in a fast-paced, public-facing environment. Serving It Right certification is a strong asset.\u00a0<\/span>This is a wonderful opportunity for the Event Assistants to interact with Centre A\u2019s artists, patrons, members, and other guests.<\/span><\/p>\n
