Artists

Everything you need as an artist to participate in upcoming exhibits is right here, one convenient location!

Volunteers

Artel is an all-volunteer organization and depends on the generosity of those who have a few hours a month to give. We would love to welcome you as a Gallery Sitter, reception/lecture helper or special event volunteer. Also, we would love to know of any special skills you have which you would be willing to donate to the gallery.

Volunteer Opportunities:

(Please indicate which opportunities you are interested in in the subject line!)

Gallery Sitters: The gallery is open Tuesday-Saturday 10am - 4pm. Volunteer shifts typically go from 10am - 1pm and 1pm - 4pm.

A 45-minute training session is usually conducted at the beginning of your first shift. Someone is always available by phone if you need assistance or have questions.

Gallery Night Team: Gallery Night is held on the third Friday of each month and we can always use help in assisting the participating artists to set up, tear down, and monitor the gallery. If you are interested in joining the team, contact info@artelgallery.org for more information.

Exhibition Committee: Every 6-7 weeks, the exhibit changes and there are a lot of moving parts to coordinate: artist check-in and drop-off, hanging the show, and helping with the reception.

Volunteer Benefits:

  • A free annual membership (After completing 30 hours of gallery sitting or other volunteer work, which must be completed in the same calendar year)

  • Gallery Sitters who are already members, can receive on free entry to any juried show (except Cinco Banderas) by Gallery Sitting for 25 hours within any continuous six-month period. (The free entry fee can only be used within a one-year period starting from the date you acquired the 25 hours, and you must be a current Artel member when you use it. Additional hours may be earned for other duties, such as assisting at art drop offs, receptions, educational programs, and other special events.)

  • The opportunity to look at wonderful works of art during your shift!
