We wish to gain skills in exhibition installation, data gathering, develop problem solving skills within the exhibition setting, and better communication skills. We hope to work with people from different parts of the art community and learn more about the local art scene and opportunities for artists. We will gain these skills by being proactive, and ask questions, talk to people, and always be willing to be challenged and take on different tasks.
Our partner expects us to be present at all the major events, be self-motivated, proactive, and be open for guidance and feedback. We are also expected to provide feedback and suggest changes to their existing membership data system. Since the two of us are doing the same tasks, we are also expected to keep in touch with each other and work as a team.
We are directly working with Sarah Clark Ellis (Curatorial Assitant), and Lisa Curry (Board Chair). Communication and feedback are on weekly/bi-weekly basis in person or through email.
