**UPDATE: While the workshop is now full, we encourage folks who are interested to sign up for the waiting list in case a spot is released!** Ever wanted to work at an art gallery but don’t know where to start? Want to get more familiar with power tools? Join us to learn the basics of becoming an arts industry professional with a focus on art handling and art preparation skills. In this workshop we will go over how to repair walls after an exhibition, basic power tool use, and what to carry in your tool kit! We will also cover topics such as artwork packing, installation techniques of framed and non framed works, and light artworks for exhibitions. This workshop will include instruction and hands on elements. This is a FREE workshop; no prior skills are necessary. We strongly encourage BIPOC, queer, trans and non-binary people, and women to participate. This event is wheelchair accessible. Spots are limited; please only register if you know you are available to attend. If the workshop is full, you will be placed on a waitlist and contacted if a spot becomes available. If you need to cancel, please email saccityarts@cityofsacramento.org as soon as possible so that we can release your spot to someone else.
