I'm the team member that takes care of exhibitions and out of gallery shows, usually for fine art or crafts. In this capacity I;
investigate the opportunity for a show, prepare comparisons for different shows, prepare the application, gather tax, bonging and insurance documents, find the best price for hotel rooms, ship the art, load the van, act as first point of contact with customers, open customer interaction, sell, get the coffee, set up the booth, install the art, sell, figure out where to get the laundry done, sell, figure out where we go for dinner, sell, close deals, sell, keep the mailing list, shmooze customers, break down, do the accounting, figure out how much profit we made, return expense reports, evaluate the show for next year and do it all again at the next show next week.
Sometimes I do the tours solo with an existing collection of work I'm responsible for, sometimes I work as personal assistant to senior members of the team. Sometimes we do exhibitions at festivals, events or conferences, sometimes at galleries. I respond to: Art Handler, Gallery Assistant, Sales Maven, Art Goddess, Roadie, Exhibition and Tour Manager and "Hey, you".
