Everyone likes a bit of retail therapy, don’t they?

Art Fair / Craft volunteers that are involved in the setting up of our bi-annual Art Fair events, are the first to see all the products before we are open to the public.

What’s involved?

•  Create a great first impression
• Welcome, and answer visitors’ questions about the Art Centre
• Keep a note of how many visitors are coming into the event
• Look after the visiting exhibitors by offering refreshments
• Sell items for the Hearth i.e. annual calendar
• Produce packs to distribute to the community via various ‘partners’ e.g. No. 28 Community Support in Hexham, West End of Newcastle Food Bank, Age UK West End of Newcastle, Wylam & Heddon Library, Chrysalis Tynedale etc. The packs are made up of materials purchased and are suitable for young people, older residents or families.
• Help to run small art and craft workshops. This involves setting up the hall, serving refreshments and clearing up.
• You are important in making sure things run as smoothly and safely as possible – this includes getting to know health and safety and evacuation procedures and being aware of overall security

By getting involved, you could…

• Enjoy chatting to the artists and visitors
• Help us make a profit to support the Art Centre
• Be first to see all the great items being sold at the event

Our art fairs are held twice a year over a week end in April and December

What skills do I need?

• Enjoy meeting people and are keen to make each visitor feel special
• Enjoy learning new skills
• Enjoy working in the creative arts
