Process Steps
- 11/1/19
- Identify and reach out to the organization.
- I chose the Organisation ‘Materials for the Arts’. https://www1.nyc.gov/content/mfta/pages/
- I visited the Organisation on 10/31.
- Before meeting them, I saw their gallery.
- They have a program called ‘Friends of Materials for the Arts, Artist-in-Residence’ which provides selected artists with workspace in the MFTA warehouse, as well as the opportunity to create and exhibit new work inspired by the ever-changing warehouse inventory and other recycled materials.
-
-
- Meet with or speak to a representative about your project.
- I met with Dianna Mendez, the volunteer coordinator, who gave me her contact information.
- Dianna told me the volunteer hours:Monday 10am-2pm, Wednesday 10am-2pm or 6pm to8pm and Friday 10am.2pm. She told me to email her the hours I would be coming so she could arrange work for me.
- Dianne showed me the warehouse in which I would be working. At this time no one was inside as it wasn’t a volunteer day.
- Details of the organization, choice, and plan-of-action to create a timeline and editorial calendar. An editorial calendar is basically a timeline of your project.
What am I going to do?
I am volunteering to work for the organisation to organise materials that are donated form other people.
How can I do it?
Dianne will arrange the work I’ll be doing when I send her my schedule.
When will I be doing it?
Friday November 8th: 11am-2pm (3 hours)
Monday November 11th: 12am-2pm (2 hours)
Total: 5 hours
Where will I do it?
I will be working at the warehouse shown in the pictures above, I won’t know in which section I will be working on as it depends on what materials are collected from donators at the day I volunteer.
