Volunteers Needed for Biennale Exhibits

Between November 14 and January 8, 2011, more than 1,500 hours of volunteer time will be needed to greet and guide the public through the 2010 Creativity World Biennale exhibits. You can read about this effort here: www.artspaceatuntitled.org 

Shifts to staff the three Biennale galleries along Automobile Alley are now being scheduled. No training or experience is necessary; a congenial attitude and casual attire will meet the needs. [Artspace] at Untitled staff will admit volunteers to the sites at opening and relieve volunteers at the end of the day to lock up. Volunteers will report a tally of exhibit visitors at the end of their shift.

The venues will include: TAP Architecture at 415 Broadway with a display from Denmark; Mel’s Towing, 25 NW 9th will feature works from Germany and Scotland; 1101 Broadway will display art from Rio de Janerio and Flanders. 

Guidelines and support materials will be posted at each of the sites. Teams of two will serve on each shift. Because two of these sites have minimal amenities, one team member must have a cell phone for information and security reasons. 

You may volunteer in pairs or be paired with other single volunteers. Junior volunteers are welcome when paired with adult partners. 

From Thursday, November 18, until Saturday, January 8, these venues will follow [Artspace] at Untited’s hours of operation: Tuesday through Friday 10 AM- 5 PM, Saturday 10 AM - 4 PM; Closed Sunday and Monday.  

Weekdays are divided into two 3.5-hour shifts (10 AM-1:30 PM and 1:30 PM-5 PM) and Saturdays into two 3-hour shifts (10 AM-1PM and 1PM-4PM).
The Biennale exhibits will be closed for Thanksgiving Day; Christmas Eve, Christmas and the following day; New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
