Good things happened when two volunteers get together with one common goal: 

Gallery Coordinator, Katherine Moore and Fundraising Coordinator, Laura Leiman spent five days in August improving the appearance of the Gallery Classroom, and the results are having a positive impact. They cleaned, inventoried, sorted items into groupings and organized the Village Gallery Classroom. 

The Classroom Instructor wall, with the printer and craft wrap, was cleared, instructor artwork installed, and visitors could actually get close enough to learn about the various classes and instructors. During the last ArtChat, two nonmember visitors signed up for a class because they liked what they observed on the Instructor wall.

Moore and Leiman had discovered – 27 chairs, 4 long tables, a screen for outreach, art kit containers, a tent, education materials, multiple pieces of glass for shelving, art challenge hangers, holiday decorations, office, packaging, signage, event outreach box, and much more to consider – all important – all competing for precious little space within the Classroom walls.

“It has always been a challenge to move thru the classroom due to overflow; there is no place to put things – items mysteriously appear, dropped off with no name and no purpose as to why….We are about 60% done sorting, with more improvements to come,” said Leiman. Moore and Leiman will work with each of the coordinators to designate and assign areas of storage.


We ask all members and volunteers to adhere to the following Guidelines:

1. We will not accept non-cash donations (for example: printers, office supplies, art supplies etc.) without approval from the Gallery Organizers, Katherine Moore and Laura Leiman. ( Send requests to both emails:
[email protected], [email protected] )

2. Before accepting and/or purchasing any item that needs storage, the Gallery organizing committee (Katherine & Laura) must give approval for placement. The team obtaining the item must store this item within the teams’ designated space. The item must have a name, phone number and purpose for the item labeled. White art tape and a fine tip sharpie works well for this.

3. Please do not bring in any item unless it has an assigned approved area.

4. Do not buy any office, cleaning or bathroom supplies. Notify Katherine if there is any supply need at: [email protected]
