Calling all art enthusiasts!
We are in need of volunteers for a hands-on, art-making area in our Posters of Paris: Toulouse-Lautrec & His Contemporaries exhibition.
During the run of Posters of Paris: Toulouse Lautrec and His Contemporaries (on view through January 20, 2013), the Museum is offering a drop-in art-making activity within the exhibition gallery space. For the activity, visitors create their own posters using text and images from the exhibition. Poster-makers layer text and images in between layers of acetate and trace their compositions with dry erase markers. After completing poster designs, visitors bring their finished product to a volunteer, who photocopies the image, creating an 11”x17” poster. Visitors receive a copy of their posters to take home and the Museum keeps a copy to hang in the Poster Studio space.
Poster Studio volunteers will be on their feet, interacting with visitors, making copies, and stapling posters onto the wall in the space. Shifts are two-hours in length during open hours. Volunteering in the Posters Studio is a fun way to spend two hours of your day—when I work the space, I usually have time to create a poster myself.
We are in great need of volunteers to help during the final weeks of December. As our way of thanking you for volunteering, we will provide all volunteers with an extra ticket to the Posters of Paris exhibition.
For more information about being a Posters Studio volunteer, or to sign-up for a shift, please visit our website.
Happy Holidays,
