About this opportunity

Our front of house volunteers play a vital role in the day-to-day activities of the gallery space by interacting with the public and promoting the space, the artists, and the exhibition program. Volunteers will operate on a weekend roster, which includes a am-pm shift on Saturdays and Sundays, with an extended shift on the last Sunday of each month (am-2.30 pm) in line with the Tanks Market Days.
