Art School and Gallery Assistant (Part-Time)
One River School of Art & Design — Transforming Art Education

Are you energized by creative spaces, emerging artists, and the rhythm of a working art school and gallery? One River School of Art & Design is seeking an Art School and Gallery Assistant to help shape a welcoming, inspiring environment where students, families, and art lovers connect with contemporary art and creative learning.

This role is ideal for someone with a visual arts background who enjoys being at the center of a dynamic creative community — supporting exhibitions, engaging with students, and contributing to the daily flow of an innovative art school. Evening and weekend hours are available, making this a great opportunity for students, practicing artists, and early-career arts professionals.

At One River, we’ve reimagined how art is taught — blending skill development with contemporary culture to create meaningful artistic outcomes across drawing, painting, sculpture, mixed media, manga, digital art, and more.

• Serve as a welcoming first point of contact for students, families, and visitors — in person and on the phone

• Help open and close the school, ensuring a polished, gallery-ready environment

• Check students into classes and onboard new members into the One River community

• Lead tours for prospective students and families, sharing our programs and creative philosophy

• Assist with scheduling class makeups and supporting calendar coordination

• Build strong relationships with members through thoughtful, attentive service

• Maintain the gallery presentation and confidently speak about student and professional artwork on display

• Ensure smooth student pickup and communicate with parents/guardians when needed

• Support enrollments, schedule changes, freezes, and other student service needs

• Collaborate with instructors and leadership on projects related to programming, marketing, design, and operations

• Passionate about visual art, creative education, and community-driven spaces

• Comfortable engaging with people of all ages with warmth and professionalism

• Organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities in an active environment

• Positive, collaborative, and motivated to contribute to a strong team culture

• Available for some evening and weekend shifts

Customer service or administrative experience is helpful, but we’re happy to train candidates who bring the right creative mindset and interpersonal strengths.

• Familiarity with Google Workspace tools

• Graphic design or visual communication experience (Canva, Adobe Photoshop, etc.)

• Comfort with social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook

• Background in visual arts, marketing, business, or arts administration

• Interest or experience in art education, gallery work, or museum settings

One River School of Art & Design is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering an inclusive workplace for all employees and applicants.
