Let Arc distract you in a meaningful way each fortnight.
Kudos Volunteer
Program overview: Run by COFA students for COFA
students and funded by Arc, Kudos Gallery is a professional
exhibition space for artists, curators and designers to explore and
present their work beyond the realm of the studio. There are two
levels of volunteering at Kudos; entry level aimed at 1st and 2nd
year students, and the Kudos Committee aimed at 2nd year through to
Postgrad students.
What volunteers do: Entry level volunteers assist
with running the bar at openings, gallery minding and annual
maintenance. The Kudos Committee set the exhibition program, run
special projects and workshops, publicity and media, social events
and cross School and Faculty outreach.
Volunteer Commitment: Entry level volunteers are
required to do 2 hours per fortnight. The Kudos Committee should
expect to do 2-5 hours per week, including attending meetings or
openings at 5pm on Tuesdays.
What you get out of it: Being an active Kudos
volunteer is the best way to meet other COFA students and network
with the wider Sydney arts community. Gallery minding allows you to
spend time with exhibitions and talk to people who visit the
gallery, with free WiFi it's also a great quiet place to catch up
on homework. Serving drinks at openings usually leads to paid work
at other galleries or art events. Skills learnt by students in
Kudos Committee roles include project and event management,
collective organisation, teamwork, running a gallery, coordinating
people, communication, time management, publicity and
marketing.
How you get involved: Entry level volunteer
positions open in week 1 semester 1 and will be accepted all year.
The Kudos Committee deadline is week 4 semester 1. Places in this
program are competitive and you may be required to attend an
interview. Apply via the Volunteer Application Form.
