People in the shire with a passion for the arts and culture are encouraged to look into volunteering at SECCA, the South East Centre for Contemporary Art.
Gallery Director Iain Dawson said SECCA's artistic program delivers an intellectual and artistic exchange of ideas, acknowledging divergent political, social and moral belief systems of artists and audiences from Australia and the Asia Pacific.
“SECCA presents 10 to 14 temporary exhibitions per year across two exhibition galleries with associated publications and education programs,” Mr Dawson said.
“As a volunteer you will be the face of our diverse local arts community and assist with varied tasks, including meeting and greeting visitors, reception duties and installing exhibitions.
“You will make new friends, talk with artists and enjoy our artworks – through firsthand experience.
“SECCA is an equal opportunity employer, committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace that is respectful and supports creativity and innovation.
“We encourage applications from First Nations people, people of culturally diverse backgrounds, people with disability and people from the LGBTIQA+ community.
“Potential volunteers must be 18 years or older and you will need a Working With Children Check.
“We are looking for people with solid communication skills, who can work both independently and as part of a dynamic team and can commit a minimum of one day a fortnight. Experience in retail, hospitality or customer service is a plus.”
If you are interested in volunteering, please request an application form via gallery@begavalley.nsw.gov.au
We can also assist people with disability to fill out the form if they request when they ask for the form.
