Student Opportunities
Aram Muksian '04 and visiting artist Kelsang Tsering Sherpa
Students actively participate in all aspects of Gallery programming
and collection management, learning museum standards and methods of art
handling and registration, assisting with the installation of rotating
exhibitions and campus displays, as well as conducting research for curatorial
purposes and educational programs. Students can utilize works of
art for course-related projects or initiate exhibitions of their own work
or by drawing from the permanent collection.
Friendly and enthusiastic students needed to work as gallery monitors; greet visitors; answer questions about exhibitions; assist with light clerical tasks. Reliability is a must! Monitors are asked to attend opening receptions and related educational programs so that they can become more familiar with the work and ideas that are presented in each exhibition.
Installations Assistants
Perfectionists needed to mat, frame, and install works of art for rotating
exhibitions and campus displays. No previous experience necessary; training
will be provided.
Students will learn proper museum standard methods for art handling, unpacking and repacking, transporting, matting and framing, installations, signage, and lighting.
Collections/Administrative Assistants
Perfectionists needed to assist with the manual and automated recordkeeping
of the permanent collection and other office-related administrative tasks
which require attention to detail. Computer experience is required; art
experience helpful but not necessary.
Educational Programs Assistants
Articulate, outgoing writer/speaker needed to create flyers for special
events, lectures, and workshops; write short press listings for campus
publications; assist with researching and writing exhibition text panels
(artists’ bios, etc.); and assist with gallery tours for targeted classes
(SLU and area colleges and secondary schools).
