Curious on life within a professional art career? I am a college student who is interning at the Salem Art Association and learning from art professionals about galleries, exhibitions, fundraisers, and art. I will be documenting my learning efforts from this great internship on my blog as well as sharing my favorite art pieces and other great tidbits on art in general. Please read my blog if you like art, I know you won't regret it!

Files and Coffee
In the early morning, it was time for Wednesday's usual meeting for the staff of SAA. We gathered and shared information of how everything is going with each person(work wise) and even celebrated the birthdays of a gallery assistant and for a dog (Buster) of our staff member Debbie. We discussed marketing, the past Saturday's children art day, and future plans for Art Fair. We concluded our meeting (full of coffee and snacks) with a laugh and all proceeded to our own individual duties. I was then able to shadow Jennifer through random office tasks. I entered information into our inventory system, take items out of POS, and file artists away in our cabinets. I repeated knowledge I already knew about our POS system and learned new things about how to keep the system organized in the Bush Barn Gallery. It was a simple, low key day today but I was able to learn new things and visit with the staff to make it a rewarding seven hour day at the Barn.
