Volunteering is a great experience where you can meet other artists; it's a lot of fun; and you get to learn a lot about how an art exhibit is installed and organized. Since Untitled is a volunteer-based, artist-run group, it needs your help!
All exhibiting artists (and non-exhibiting artists, too) are encouraged to volunteer their time to help install the show, host the event, and uninstall the show. Please let us know what you can do to help. The volunteer schedule will be finalized at the drop-off. PLEASE BE SURE TO CONFIRM YOUR VOLUNTEER ASSIGNMENT AT THE DROP-OFF (even if you are not exhibiting).
We especially need assistance with the installation on Thursday and the clean-up on Saturday. If at all possible, please plan to be available for at least a couple of hours on those days. A special place in artists' heaven (and also some pizza) is reserved for those who stay all day on Thursday.
No shame if you can't help out this time, but please do if you can. Also, please remember that Untitled is just a bunch of artists working together to make shows happen. Please be kind to each other.
THIS IS YOUR SHOW – HELP MAKE IT HAPPEN!
THANK YOU!
CHAIR
POSITIONS (team leaders)
For
every show, we need at least 6 people to fill the chair
positions. You can also be a co-chair and work with
another person to lead that team of volunteers.
Check out the
list of chair positions to the left to see if there is something
you can help with or would like to learn.
Most chair
positions require no previous experience!
For
every show, we also need volunteers to sign up for specific
shifts so we can make sure that all areas are covered and the
show runs as smooth as possible.
Volunteer shifts
require no previous experience! Volunteering is the best
way to get involved and meet other people. Volunteer for
something new every show and learn more and more as you go!
Volunteer
