2. HELP WITH INSTALLING, DE-INSTALLING, LOAN AGREEMENTS AND TOOL CHECK OUT.

  • Students from the Gallery Exhibitions Class will be on hand to help with installing and de-installing the work.
  • Students showing work in the cases will always need to turn in loan agreement forms. These can be downloaded by the student or instructor on the sidebar at: grantvetter.blogspot.com/p/writings_179.html
  • Students from the Gallery Exhibitions Class will be on hand to check out tools and supplies needed for installation and de-installation

3. KEYS AND MAINTAINING SECURITY

  • Only the Galleries Director and the front desk are to have keys to the Display cases.
  • These keys cannot be check-out.
  • Anytime a Display case is not locked the Galleries Director or the front desk should be notified immediately!

PART FOUR: Lighting.

  • The Lighting Tech will light the Display cases on Sunday night after 5pm when they are done with lighting Harry Wood Gallery.
  • Students and Instructors are not to adjust the lighting in the 3-D Display cases on their own. They require a tiny allen wrench and if they are adjusted by hand it will strip the joint of it’s ability to hold position and maintain light on an artwork.
  •  Do not adjust the lights yourself for any reason!
