Job Description

SPHERE GALLERY is opening in Ottawa\'s Carlington neighbourhood next month. The gallery is extremely unique as we will be specializing in previously loved art. Our interesting business model entails consigning art from those that are downsizing, have had a change in their preferences in art, or are simply looking to sell art to make space for new pieces they have purchased. Many of the pieces for sale will be ones we have collected as well. Some wall space will be reserved or new art from local artists in the Ottawa area. The ideal candidate would have a passion for original art, loves performing research about different artists, and who enjoys working in a retail (art gallery) setting. The initial tasks will be to hang and label about 100 paintings. They will all need to be photographed as well. You will need to help create biographies for the different artists and to track any known provenance with the different pieces of art. This will all be done on using our database so the pieces of art can be posted to our new website. Moving forward there would be one 8-hour shift every Saturday in the gallery with the possibility of additional shifts if your time allows. The gallery\'s initial opening hours will be noon-8pm Wednesday-Saturday. You would also help with posting on social media and engaging with our followers. If this exciting and very unique opportunity sounds interesting to you then please reach out by sending an application and also calling directly. Job Type: Part-time
