Gallery Life

Starting with the usual meeting, we talked about weekly updates, shared exciting tidbits, and everyone's vital roles to Salem Art Association. Getting advice to add more to the exhibition catalog I finished, I added a page or so and completed the never ending showcase book. I then shadowed Jennifer, our Gallery Coordinator and brilliant artist as we performed little necessary duties for the gallery and gift shop. I changed light bulbs, checked in and out inventory artworks, talked to a new artist, packaged away artworks, labeled pieces, and printed/documented the many items and artists that are dealt with. These small task are absolutely important to the Bush Barn Art Gallery as it keeps us organized. Without the neat filing and POS inventory systems used, we would be without the ability to accurately keep track of the thousands of artworks and artists associated with them and our gallery. These will continue to be important skills as I was able to work on my own and confidently work my way around the art gallery.
