BEHIND THE SCENES

Keeping in theme with the dynamic and contemporary nature of Contempo is a team of 16 volunteer Contempo Committee members. They volunteer their time by meeting once a month to help plan, organise and manage Contempo events and promote fundraising opportunities for the Gallery’s contemporary art acquisitions program.

Supporting Contempo staff and committee members are a team of hard working volunteers who help manage and run the event program.

WANT TO VOLUNTEER?

If you’re interested in working as a Contempo volunteer or would like any information on how to apply to become a committee member, simply send an email and we’ll contact you with all the details you need.

Alternatively we would love to see you at one of our fun volunteer meetings which are held on the last Wednesday of the month. The next meeting will be held on Wednesday 25 August, 2010 at 6:30pm in the Members' Lounge. These meetings are free and do not require any type of booking in advance - just turn up! Please join us after the meeting for a free guided tour of the gallery's collection and a glass of wine.

I have been working in the jewellery industry. I joined Contempo to be more involved in art and to work on and bring fresh ideas to art events held by Contempo.

I am an exhibiting artist, having held exhibitions at commercial galleries in Sydney, Melbourne and New York. I currently teach in Education Programs at the AGNSW, Brett Whiteley Studio, the University of Technology Sydney and hold art workshops at various community colleges. I am very happy to again be involved with ‘Art Alive’, a great Contempo event that takes people ‘behind the scenes’ and into the world of the artist!

I am a researcher and free-lance writer in contemporary art with a background of art history and theory. Contempo's dynamic activities provide a platform for a deeper interaction between art and the public. I wish to make my contribution to the cultural development of the city we are living in within my capacity.
