The Chinese Culture Center (CCC) is seeking a gallery volunteer to assist with our art gallery and gallery shop. The CCC Visual Art Center presents contemporary art and innovative artists in our exhibitions. As the first impression of our visual arts programming, the role is integral to our public engagement strategy. We want everyone to leave with a positive impression and understanding about our contemporary arts exhibition and vibrant community.
You will work closely with the gallery manager, communications associate, curatorial assistant and other members of the team.
Volunteers will learn about and introduce emerging artists and designers in our gallery and shop. Great for a people person, someone who loves introducing and sharing culture and arts to others in a meaningful way and challenging stereotypes. Also great for people who want to be involved with promoting local artists and designers, and unique items.
Duties include but are not limited to:
- Gallery engagement and support: greeting visitors, engaging the public, and interacting with people about the current exhibition, art, and the community
- Providing support to educate on the Center, Chinatown, and discussion about art in low-income neighborhoods, contemporary art, challenging stereotypes, and other topics

- Assist in gallery shop: make sales, keep track of and promote local artists and designers
- Work with gallery manager on merchandising and marketing (if applicable)
- Participate in our monthly shop committee meeting: overview new artists, vendors, and merchandise for the shop, discuss overall design of shop, and take meeting minutes

Mission Statement
CCC elevates underserved communities, and gives voice to equality through process driven contemporary art and education.
Description
Established in 1965, our vision is to contribute to a vibrant community by bringing people together. Last year over 148,000 people participated in art and cultural programs, including 10,000 youth and school children.
The Visual Art Center exhibits cutting edge work by up and coming contemporary artists. We support artists who are "unseen gems" and whose artistic influence would benefit with our support. Many of our artists have subsequently won important honors, and have gone on to worldwide influence through shows in Madrid, Hangzhou, Miami, and New York. Locally, the Visual Art Center also seeks to elevate the community by bringing world class artists to the neighborhood.
The Him Mark Lai Learning Center promotes understanding of our multi-cultural democracy and activism through the lens of the Chinese American story. Through walking tours of Chinatown, excursions to sites across the greater Bay Area, a guided journey to China, and many other educational activities, the public can gain new insights into the past and be inspired to help shape the future.
Free outdoor festivals such as the annual Chinatown Music Festival and Dancing on Waverly also activate and reframe public space.
The CCC is recognized as a successful pillar organization in the City, and is poised to advance to the next level of effectiveness by becoming a leader in the arena of process driven contemporary art and education on a national and international level.
