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:

Provide a welcoming presence in the exhibit and interact with all audiences
Enhance the visitor experience by answering questions, encouraging conversations, and facilitating guest’s engagement with art
Lead simple activities and demonstrations at the “Hands on History” cart
Monitor the gallery space and protect the art
Collect visitor data and share observations with Museum staff

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.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please reach out to Meg Yevara, CSPM Program Coordinator at 719-385-5631 or meg.yevara@coloradosprings.gov to schedule a phone interview.
