• • Gallery Assistant Position for Spring 2026

Gallery Assistants (GA) are responsible for providing a primary point of contact in the SITE Galleries, welcoming visitors, sharing information regarding the exhibitions, and encouraging visitors to return for other exhibitions and events. However, the GA is much more than a docent. Gallery attendants are additionally responsible for recording daily visitor attendance in the gallery, maintaining a clean and organized gallery space, maintaining exhibition files and archives, updating the email mailing list, and mopping or sweeping when needed. SITE Gallery Assistants have the paid opportunity to participate in the SITE Proposal Review Process each semester.
