Mary Ann Anthony, the newest addition to the able WMG work force, is taking advantage of the improved office conditions and she is now in charge of accounting and membership matters which has afforded Sheila Farley to move into the position of Gallery Director. Sheila has a great assistant in Meg Coleman who, after a two-semester internship, became WMG's Exhibition Administrator. Meg takes care of all incoming slide entries, organizes and prepares slide trays for the jurors and helps with the website and various gallery activities. Tiffany Amirante, who began her relationship with WMG as an intern from Roosevelt University, is continuing her involvement by helping regularly when old shows have to be taken down and exhibitions need to be installed. Woman Made Gallery has provided students from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with intern positions and has recently also accepted interns from Roosevelt University and the Young Women's Leadership Charter School.
Interns usually work a set amount of hours per semester in exchange for credit and a small salary.
They get involved in many gallery activities through hands-on work while participating in internal work relationships. Our Volunteers Coordinator is Board Vice President Roberta Reb Allen who assigns a variety of jobs to willing volunteers. Help is always needed when installing or taking down an exhibition, at opening receptions, special events, in fundraising efforts and for a variety of other tasks, like publicity and grant writing. Volunteers are usually members of WMG, and if you are a member who wants to bring a friend along to help out, we would welcome both of you.
