Volunteers Needed to Sit Gallery during Upcoming NAEA Student Exhibition

We are in need of Art Education Students and NAEA Members to Volunteer at Towson Arts Collective during our upcoming exhibition.

This is a great opportunity for us! (Especially if you plan on selling your work) Going into the show, the commission rate is 60/40, 60% to artist and 40% to the gallery. If you sit the gallery, the rate goes down dramatically! For one sit, the commission rate becomes 80/20. And then for 2x, the commission rate becomes 90/10! Since TAC is not charging very much, we need to plan on having as many gallery volunteers as possible! This is also another resume builder! Employers love seeing volunteer work and gallery experience.

The show will be on exhibition from January 20, 2012- February 24, 2012. The gallery will be open on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 12-5pm.

See "Volunteer Opportunities" Tab to view slots needing to be filled. Email Megan White with any questions or concerns.
