Artists must work alone at the gallery for two 4-hour shifts each month and will be trained for two shifts prior to working alone.  Each artist must also work two Festival shifts during the calendar year.  Artists are also expected to assist in other ways (i.e. help with window displays or other gallery duties as needed).  

Running the POS system, completing routine paperwork, and doing light cleaning/dusting as needed.  Engaging with customers as you can, without being intrusive.  During your shift, handle the gallery in the presence of customers as if it were your own.  Warmth and friendliness are the characteristics that make Old Town and GLAG unique and generate repeat customers.

There are two options available: if you have a Michigan Sales Tax License, you may elect to file and remit on your own.  You may also elect to have GLAG file and remit for you.  Please ask for details.
