The Peninsula Art Academy (PAA) is a popular place for locals and tourists to visit and take classes. Since it is close to the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad, there is often a steady stream of visitors before the train is loaded and when people get off. There are times when the Academy has a real party atmosphere -- full of visitors, artists, students, and generally interesting people. There are also lulls that allow quiet time for paperwork. A benefit to volunteers who are artists is the possibility (after sustained volunteer commitment and pending juried approval) of displaying their work and making new friends.
We're looking for volunteer Gallery Associates who love BOTH art and people! Experience/comfort with computers and Google tools (Google Sheets, Forms, etc.) is also a big plus. Our Volunteer Coordinator will train each volunteer. Most of the procedures are documented for easy reference.
Volunteers greet visitors and explain the Academy's educational offerings and assist customers in the Gallery. All the items in the Gallery are made by local artists. Other responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
Assist and complete sales
Answer phone inquiries
Manage sign ups for classes
Receive, tag, and record artist inventory
Help set up exhibits, decorations, displays
Use computer for various administrative tasks
Open/Close the Academy and gallery (First shift opens, second shift closes)
Perform other routine tasks as required.
