Shift Schedule

Shift preference - let our scheduler, Lucy Della Rosa (lucybdr@aol.com) know what your day/time preferences are for working a shift, but be aware that there are limitations and that you may be scheduled based on the gallery needs from time to time. We have already in place a shift calendar that accommodates current member requirements and it might not always be possible to meet your requests. If needed, you will be scheduled for a Friday evening shift because that is where we have the greatest need.

It’s your responsibility for scheduling your shift. If your original shift has been cancelled for whatever reason, you will need to make up that shift at a later date. It is your responsibility to let the scheduler know your preference, if you have one. The schedule is arranged 6 weeks ahead of time. Any special requests must be made 6 weeks before the first of the month you need to schedule for (ie. If you can’t work certain days in August, let her know by 6/25). If you fail to request a day or time slot preference, the scheduler will put your name in to cover where needed. You are not guaranteed a requested time and day, but an effort will be made to accommodate your request whenever possible. Remember that there are 60 other members with requirements as well. You are required to cover your shift in an emergency or if you are ill and cannot work your shift. Our policy is that if you are not feeling well, have Covid/RSV, do not come into work. You can send an email to our Google group asking to trade or pay someone to cover your shift.

You have the option to hire Mary or another member to cover your shift(s). There is a list of members you can contact in the front desk binder, listed in the member section on the website and in the newsletter. The going rate is minimum wage.

The master schedule is in the binder at the front desk. It is your responsibility to have the any shift change recorded on the master schedule. Failure to do results in you being charged double, if the member you switched with is a no show to your shift.

Gallery Shows

We have a lottery for those interested in having their own show in the gallery in February (for the following year). Sign ups for the lottery will be announced in the newsletter and/or on the group email. You are able to sign up for a show after you have been a member for a year, unless there is an opening available. You cannot have a show in two consecutive years, unless there is an opening. Members will receive a detailed packet of requirements (also listed on our website under the member’s section). The commission is 85% Artist and 15% Artery.

Sales

August Studio Sale

We have a member Studio Sale in August. This sale is open to all members’ for work that perhaps didn’t sell as well, was experimental or just ready to be purged from current inventory. All work in the sale must be a discounted price from the current price the member is selling in their display. All your sale items need to be marked with the GA codes so that you can receive the 85% commission. There is a guide by the POS in back that explains how to input your inventory. Be sure to type “Studio Sale” before your item description in the description section for each item. Studio Sale items are not returnable and cannot be put back into the member’s display after the sale.

Holiday Sale

Our Holiday Sale is in December. Members can bring in any items that are holiday themed, i.e. ornaments, however, that is not a requirement to sell items in the December sale. The percentage is the same as the regular sales commission (27% Artery/73% Artist).

Expanded Inventory

Expanded Inventory Page is new a new program, beginning 7/24. Please see details on our website in the members’ section.
