COLUMBUS, Ind. – In its fifth year, Columbus Area Arts Council’s 411 Gallery is expanding its reach by extending operating hours into evenings and weekends. This move aims to cater to a wider audience of art enthusiasts. Gallery management hopes to deepen community connections and offer more exhibition opportunities.
This expansion also opens doors for volunteers, known as 411 Gallery Docents, who will engage in various tasks to enrich visitor experiences. Duties include welcoming guests, providing exhibition details, processing art sales, serving refreshments, and conducting independent artist studies. Volunteer hours will align with the new schedule on Thursdays and Fridays from noon to 6 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Ideal docent candidates aree eager learners, detail-oriented, adaptable to audiences, and respectful in interactions. They must also be 18 or older, with no prerequisite extensive art knowledge required.
Interested volunteers can submit this form for consideration. 411 Docent Resources can be found here.
