Gannett Gallery Update

Much excitement, and many details and first time problems are connected with our exhibition at the new Gannett Building Gallery. I wanted to list a few of the things that are in progress so you can help me stay on task and also foresee things that I may have forgotten or overlooked.

1. Working with the President's office we have been verbally assured that we will have the gallery track lights installed.
2. Rob Marden is aware of our need for insurance, and is looking into the system policy.
3. Monitor coverage for the gallery is NOT worked out yet. Leo, who sits at the front desk is not responsible for the gallery and is part of Enrollment Services. I have talked with many people, and now it seems that Claudia Quintel and June MacLeod are trying to assist us. Some options and option combos are listed below:
a. June is trying to see if she can get some work study monitors for the Gannett Gallery. The time frame is uncertain and we think we will need additional assistance especially at end of May and June time frame.
b. Will the students that are showing there be willing to gallery sit for a day? We think that we will try for M-F, 11-6. Will other students in the class also help?
c. Will the Art Faculty be willing to gallery sit for a day?
d. Can we get any other volunteer help?
e. We think we can go ahead with the announcement card and press release with the above days and times.

  1. I can sit for some time. I'd prefer to do it, say, from 11-2 and can probably do more than one day that way if someone else can cover the later hours.

  2. I will be glad to help with gallery coverage but don't know yet what my availability will be, since my work schedule fluctuates from week to week. I'll keep you posted!

  3. I can help out where I can but I too have a very unpredictable work schedule. Time off requests need to be put in far in advance and my particular department is down a full time person for the next few months so it's hard to get time off. I would either need to know in advance when I was needed to request time off, or I'd have to wait for the appropriate schedule to come out and see when I'm available then. I hesitate to ask for time off because my work has been quite patient with all the requests and changes from class thus far. Hate to ask too much of them. They might deicde I'm more hassle than I'm worth.
