The Varley Art Gallery

CONCLUSION

PREPARATION
I was prepared for this experience because I
wanted to be, as much as I could, an important
part of this organization. I want them to remember
me not only as a volunteer, but a colleague who
loves art and dedicated myself to communicating
with visitors and monitoring the artwork.
I plan to use this experience to prepare me for
questions in interviews, as well as a prerequisite
to the real-world of a gallerys operations.

AFTER THE PLACEMENT...

HOW WOULD I LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE TO MY

COMMUNITY?
I want to continue to volunteer and do more with
the Gallery. I might look at other local theatres
and galleries in the GTA for me to gain more
experience in.
I might try to do my own project in the visual arts

MY
FUTURE...
WHAT IS THE PLAN?

1. CONTINUE WITH SCHOOL AND COMPLETE THE AM

PROGRAM
2. VOLUNTEER AND WORK IN ARTS AND CULTURE
ORGANIZATIONS
3. GO ON TO WORK OR COMPLETE A MASTERS DEGREE
4. GET FAMILY AND FRIENDS INTO ARTS EVENTS
5. KEEP IN TOUCH WITH STUDENTS AND
PROFESSIONALS
