Gallery Greeter
ORGANIZATION: Bay School Community Arts Center
Please visit the new page to apply.
We have a lovely, large gallery filled with beautiful art. We have many visitors come into the gallery. Our offices are in a separate area so we can't always greet our customers with a smiling face. We love to have a friendly volunteer greet everyone who walks in the door. We have a table and chairs near the front door for our greeters to sit. Many of our greeters will work on art or craft projects there, which the customers love. We are especially busy on Fridays and Saturdays, but greeters are appreciated any time. We are open Mondays 9-1, Tuesday through Saturday 10-4, and until 6pm on Fridays. Greeters usually work two hours at a time but you can stay as long as you like. We will ask you to familiarize yourself with our artists and their work, as well as our gallery schedule and our class catalog.

Description
At the Bay School, we believe there is an
artist in everyone. Over 100 classes are
offered in fine art and crafts. There are three classrooms including our gallery.
Over 30 talented local artists teach our
classes. We have basket weaving, rug
hooking , culinary and pottery instructors,
as well as painting, drawing, collage, and more. Many times the student becomes the teacher! As a statewide member of the
Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, we are able to bring exciting new classes to the Bay School
each year, including a mobile glass studio!
The Bay School offers over a dozen community outreach programs. These programs are funded through private foundations, grants and generous donors.
Our gallery has over 50 artists’ work
displayed at any time. We have fine art
paintings, pottery, stained glass, jewelry,
baskets and more. We encourage our
students to display their work. We also have an art supply store. Annually, we host a statewide juried art show, Art Speaks on the Bay, which brings dozens of new artists to our gallery walls.
