VOLUNTEERING
Our Gallery is run by volunteers who contribute over 2,500 hours a year.
Without this amazing contribution we wouldn't be able to open. Our volunteers are literally the lifeblood of the Village!
There are various roles available to volunteers. Most help out in the Shop and normally work on their own, opening/ closing the gallery and shop, dealing with any sales of artwork, and providing information to visitors. Shifts are either a full day - 10am - 4pm, or a split shift of 10 - 1 or 1- 4. We open on Sunday 11- 5 instead, so you can have a bit of a lie in!
We have a radio and CD player, and kitchen facilities. Some days can be quiet so feel free to bring something to do - we have internet access available if you want to bring your own laptop. Often our two part time staff or one of the Trustees will be around.
Alternatively, some volunteers will pop in to help for an hour or so pricing stock, while they wait for the Laundrette, or the mechanic. Or they will help at a working bee, painting, or gardening.
We have regular 'volunteer morning teas' which give everyone a chance to meet, be sociable and talk about anything, or raise any issues. Working in the Gallery you will get to meet all sorts of interesting people - artists, New Zealand and international visitors - even Prime Ministers!
If you would like to be part of our team, please contact the Gallery Manager, on 09 4290 570. We would love you to be involved - whether its just a few hours here and there, a regular weekly day, or just when you are on island. We always need volunteers, as peoples lives change, they move off island, or go on holiday, so why not come and join in?
