The gallery will showcase work of various mediums by artists from the mid 20th Century to today, including the likes of Ben Nicholson, Peter Lanyon and John Piper, Peter Blake, Paula Rego, Gavin Turk, Tessa Farmer, Rob Ryan and many more. (See our programme summary attached.)
We are currently looking for volunteers to come and help us run the gallery. Acting as gallery guides and occasionally helping out with previews, exhibition sales and gallery administration.
Volunteers can give as little or as much time as they wish. Even one day every fortnight is enough. For this, not only will they get invaluable experience and a great addition to CV's, but also get the chance to work in fantastic surroundings and with a professional art and heritage team. Travel expenses (by the mile) and tea, coffee and cake are provided. (If you volunteer for over 50 hours you also automatically get free membership to the National Trust and 20% discount in all our shops and restaurants)
I wondered if you might be willing to distribute the attached e-flyer advertising a recruitment day which we are holding in Southampton and Winchester on Wednesday 16th March. This is the first stage in trying to build up a team of creative individuals who can help run the gallery space and its exhibitions and events. If people cannot attend the recruitment day, we are happy to talk to them in person at another time. We will happily post you a hard copy of the flyer too but as I'm sure you understand, the more help and support we can get with this project the better. Your assistance with spreading the word about the gallery and our search for volunteers would be most appreciated.
If you have any questions about the recruitment event or the project more widely or want to know more about the exhibitions lined up for this year please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Thank you in advance for you support.
Kind Regards,
