| Volunteering You can develop your skills by helping us in a voluntary capacity. Volunteers can assist in a number of ways including installation of exhibitions, marketing and front of house reception. Volunteers can gain important experience in gallery work which will help greatly in their career development, especially if you are interested in a career in the arts. In addition, ArtSway can host a number of work placements from schools, colleges and universities throughout the year. In the past these have varied from just a couple of days to six months. Students from local schools regularily undertake work placements and ArtSway has also hosted graduate students from the Leicester University Museums Studies MA as well as students from BA courses from around the country and abroad. |
