For more than 8 years I have had the pleasure of working as
a communications and design coordinator at Gallery Gachet.
Gallery Gachet is a unique artist-run centre located in the Downtown Eastside neighbourhood of Vancouver, the unceded territories of the xwməθkwəy’əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. Gallery Gachet is a collectively-run exhibition space built to empower participants as artists, administrators and curators.
Achievements during those years:
- Designed posters, flyers, handouts, newsletters and more depending on gallery’s programming needs.
- Improved design and layout of the hard copy newsletter making it easier to fill in content.
- Infused monthly newsletter with an inspiring unique style showcasing current exhibitions and events.
- Managed Gallery Gachet’s social media platforms such as website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Flickr by keeping them up to date with all important information.
- Took photographs during opening nights and posted them on Gallery Gachet’s Flickr account.
- Designed three promotional brochures that introduced the gallery
to the audience and included artists’ biographies and photographs of their art. - Designed an anniversary catalog which provided information about Gallery Gachet’s history, development and list of artists involved with the gallery.
- Designed exhibition catalog “Nothing About Us Without Us” which is documenting process and exhibition of group of artists from gallery.
