Volunteer - Orleans House Gallery Twickenham - Twickenham, TW1 3BL
(2024-07)
I sought this appointment to increase my experience while also being able to invest my own time and effort into the preservation of artworks, and the promotion of culture, in my local area.
At Orleans House
Gallery, I worked alongside other volunteers within the exhibition space of the gallery's permanent works; a variety of artworks from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries which reflected the local area and its history. Crucially, and in keeping with my local interest, I worked with local artists, helping set up their exhibition space to best reflect their works. Most satisfying was the public facing nature of the role which enabled me to ensure the explanation of and accessibility to the art works on display to those visiting.
