The Campbell River Art Gallery (CRAG) is hiring two students for the position of Summer Outreach Assistant. The CRAG is a contemporary art gallery located on Vancouver Island, BC consisting of a Main Gallery and a Satellite Gallery for exhibition, a studio for classes, and a gift shop featuring fine arts and craft.

The Summer Outreach Assistant positions will assist the Programs & Outreach Manager with programming, communication, public outreach programming, educational programming, marketing and promotion. The roles will also assist in the preparation for upcoming exhibitions, program planning, public outreach engagement, and communications planning. The incumbents will also be performing much needed administrative duties, compiling information, and providing communications support.
Summer Outreach Assistant applicants should be outgoing, have strong communication skills, and will have a background and/or interest in contemporary art.
Students pursuing degrees in Hospitality, Tourism, Education, Art History, Museum Studies, Fine Art, and/or Curatorial Studies are preferred. Any previous background in non-profit organizations, art galleries, artist-run-centres, or youth/family programming are greatly encouraged to apply and should be noted in your application. Experience in customer relations, acquired web design skills, or with acquired program delivery skills are greatly encouraged to apply and this experience should be noted in their application.
Working alongside the Programs & Outreach Manager, the students will assist with the following objectives:
General tasks:
* Gather visitor and participant statistics
* Promote and assist with Gift Shop sales
* Ensure cleanliness of spaces and adequate supplies – assist in purchasing
* Greet visitors, provide information on Gallery programs and exhibitions
* Assist with the delivery of guided tours of exhibitions and facilitate where needed
Events:
* Assist in visual displays, event set-up, clean-up, take down
* Assist in event logistics such as scheduling, food orders, supplies, rentals, ticketing, etc.

As organizations move to decolonize their frameworks and engage in anti-racism work, the students will gain first hand experience in cultural safety, creating safe online spaces for BIPOC community members, and communicating with rural, Indigenous communities in culturally sensitive and impactful ways.
