My work spans multiple departments, primarily focusing on guest services and digital and multimedia communications. Much of my responsibility at The Art League consists of coordinating with the artists to install no less than 1 100+ exhibit each month (some months, it's 3 to 4 exhibits!). I also am responsible for handling and installing the work, with a team of volunteers and my colleages. The work we show is selected by jury, but we are responsible for curating the exhibit within the physical gallery.
I also act as a customer service representative within the gallery, to our members and visitors of the gallery alike. I handle sales and finances regularly. I love this part of my job - sharing my knowledge with others, and encouraging people to pursue artwork no matter what their background and skill level may be!
Finally, I have experience with translating artwork to various types of digital media. I maintain our website, produce videos and graphic design for exhibits and special events, manage social media profiles, and more. I'm a quick learner when it comes to digital programs, and can optimize systems to get more work done in a shorter period of time.
