Art in Liverpool are seeking committed, enthusiastic volunteers with a passion for visual arts to join the 2018 Independents’ Biennial team of gallery invigilators. You will be the welcoming, friendly face of the festival who will answer any visitor questions as well as act as an ambassador for the festival by promoting forthcoming exhibitions and events.
Primarily, you will be based at one of the festival’s core venues where you’ll be responsible for the safety of the festival exhibitions and the public. There will also be chance to assume an Artist Liaison role and support festival events. You’ll play a key role in shaping the festival’s future by reporting back to the Art in Liverpool team about audience statistics and response.
Volunteers must be aged 18+ and available for the festival dates (until 28 October 2018). You will be asked to work a minimum of 8 hours per fortnight but volunteer shifts are flexible, so you can work full or half days. In addition, you’ll be given the opportunity to participate in the festival’s Volunteer Development Programme which will include social events, skills sharing and volunteer benefits.
To get involved, complete the short online application form here.
All volunteers will be asked to attend a briefing session before working on the festival. The Independents’ Biennial will be in touch with you to arrange a suitable date and time.
Deadline to apply: Friday 17 August 2018
If you have any questions, please contact Hayley Greggs at volunteer@artinliverpool.com.
