The Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum is currently recruiting weekly volunteer Gallery Attendants for our new exhibit 50% of the Story: Women Expressing Creativity. Gallery Attendants:
TRAINING & SHIFTS Shifts are Tuesday through Saturday, 10am-1:30pm and 1:30-5pm. Volunteers will be asked to commit to an ongoing weekly shift for a minimum of 4 months. Training is scheduled for Thursday, July 11 from 9am-11am. Shifts begin Saturday, July 13. Gallery Attendant volunteers will also be required to attend at least two exhibit programs throughout the year.
ABOUT THE EXHIBIT The Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum has dreamed up a bold new exhibit: 50% of the Story: Women Expressing Creativity. Our vision alongside project partners Abby Kreuser and Gundy Stevens is to create a gallery FILLED with various forms of women’s creative expression; to produce something truly beautiful when we put women from the past and present in conversation together; to challenge the notion of museums as gatekeepers and tastemakers; and to demonstrate how across time women have always told their stories through art and creativity.
The CSPM is a museum of history and culture where we center people and stories in our exhibits. The 50% gallery will be FILLED with amazing contemporary artists, historic works of art, and artifacts from the CSPM collection. With objects both old and new — we will demonstrate how women have always been creative — even when the doors to formal training and gallery representation were closed to them. And remember, unless we are telling/sharing/collecting the stories of women – we are missing 50% of our community’s rich history.
