4. Volunteer Work
• At my time at Camden Image Gallery, I worked as a volunteer, and
was involved in two different exhibitions. During my time I was
given the opportunity to help invigilate and promote the gallery, by
handing out flyers for the exhibitions as well as explaining different
elements of artists work to people who came to view the
exhibitions. As well as this I was involved in taking down an
exhibition and helping the managing director curate and install an
exhibition. Whilst doing this I was able to meet the artists and learn
more about their art background as well as learn about different
mediums of art and how pieces had been developed.
• A great part of my role at the gallery was to research different
artists for a project coming up in September. This involved me
contacting artist that may be interested in having their work
exhibited at the gallery

responses from
