Gallery Volunteer Opportunities

The success of the gallery is due in large part to the generous help of volunteers. Consider volunteering at the gallery a few hours each month. Duties include greeting customers, helping set up special displays, performing daily sales operations, assisting with special repeating or one-time gallery projects or events.

No previous experience or special skills are needed. The only requirements are a love of art and a friendly smile. We'll help you learn the rest.

Stop by the gallery to find out more about joining us, call the gallery at 919-542-4144, or contact the Gallery's manager, Gwen Higgins , for more information.

Gallery Student Intern Program

ChathamArts offers internships in ChathamArts Gallery to high schools students studying art in Chatham County. The Student Intern Program offers the students the opportunity to meet and interact with professional artists and to learn both the business and community service functions of ChathamArts.

Examples of internship duties include:

• generating and updating data spreadsheet to collect statistics
• collecting and organizing artist information for Artist Bio book
• preparing artworks and assisting in creating exhibits
• working sales and greeting customers during first Sunday receptions.

Student testimonials describe their experience as rewarding and helpful for college and scholarship applications, as well as subsequent job interviews.

Previous student interns that have showed their work in ChathamArts' student exhibit have gone forward to pursue careers in art, at schools including North Carolina State University School of Design and Architecture, Eastern Carolina University, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill art departments, and national design institutes.
