Job Responsibilities
Gallery attendant: I open and close the art gallery every day and perform simple maintenance tasks including dusting, sweeping, lighting, and ventilation.

I work 4 days a week and 6 hours a day, from 12-6 in a downtown, urban environment.
Uppers
Related field of interest, meeting new people, relaxed work environment.
Downers
Isolated and somewhat boring on slow days, costs of parking within the city.
Lifestyle
12-6, mid-day - evening, some weekends, invites to social events and parties.
Compensation
Very low pay due to gallery's non-profit status.
