What Interns and Volunteers do
Depending on the volunteer’s interests and our needs, an Art Administration volunteer will focus on the day-to-day management of our galleries, classes, and daily operations.Assignments may include:

• Maintaining, cleaning, and merchandising reception area, exhibition gallery and gift shop
• Curating exhibits under the supervision of the Gallery Manager
• Overseeing gallery inventory and tracking sales and commissions
• Updating class schedules and other printed materials
• Preparing and distributing class paperwork and finished classwork
• Assisting in scheduling classes and class instructors
• Data entry, filing, photocopying, and maintaining office supplies
• General customer service and sales

Glass Axis volunteers are expected to have a willingness to learn, project a positive image of our organization, and create a welcoming environment for our many visitors. All volunteers are responsible for basic customer service duties, gallery reception and monitoring, gift shop point-of-sale, and promotion of our classes and events.

Internships range from 8 to 15 weeks and may be repeated. Hours are flexible (usually 4 to 12 hours arranged over 1 to 2 days), and depend on assignments, but interested applicants need to be available to work during regular facility hours: TWR 11am-6pm, Friday 11am-7pm, and Sat 11am-4pm ; a set weekly schedule is required. School credit requirements may determine the number of hours per week.

What you’ll gain
Glass Axis internships and volunteer positions encourage transformative growth, expand worldviews, offer hands-on practical experiences in the arts, and develop career skills as part of the Glass Axis Out of the Box Workforce Training Program. All internships are available for course credit as required by academic institutions. Positions are unpaid but offer studio credit for your volunteer hours.
