BIG THANK YOU to all of the members who have been signing up to run the gallery. There are still members who have art at OOTB who are not doing their share. We are asking these people to be at OOTB for 1 full day (or 2 half days) once a month. We have had the calendar at our LAG meetings for people to sign up—so if you fit the category and don’t attend the meetings, you need to call Jan Blank at 402-488-0388 to volunteer.
When you are at OOTB, you can do art, pay bills, or anything else to make the time go faster. You will be upstairs (the 48th Street entrance) to greet people, answer questions, and ask them to sign our book and give us their Email addresses. Direct questions about OOTB items to the desk downstairs. If someone wants to buy a piece of art, OOTB will take the money, etc. If you sign up and then cannot be there, Jan Blank will send a calendar with names and phone numbers each month so that you can call another artist to exchange dates to work.
If the people who have not volunteered don’t volunteer by the end of April, we will need to remove their artwork from OOTB.
Each member will also need to volunteer for a FIRST FRIDAY event 2 or 3 times during the year. This will be above and beyond the one day per month volunteering.
Everything seems to be running smoothly with the gallery, but it is not fair that everyone is not volunteering. Please do your part to make this venture a success. It’s an opportunity we can’t let fall by the wayside, so please continue your support. We’ve had sales of $2,000+ so far, and we’re confident this will improve.
