Well now’s your chance!

The Shepparton Art Gallery is conducting a Volunteer Guide Course from 1 February 2006 in the lead up to the International Ceramic Award Exhibition on 24 February.

Gallery Curator Kirsten Lacy says that volunteers will be trained in public presentation techniques and will build a working knowledge of the gallery collection, with particular attention paid to the ceramic collection.

“Volunteer guides will then have the opportunity to practice their skills and meet artists and visitors at the International Ceramic Award Exhibition,” says Ms Lacy.

“Research methods and practice will be introduced with participation in gallery life encouraged and nurtured,” adds Ms Lacy.

The course is free and interested participants should contact the gallery on 5832 9861.
