There was so much activity and programs with the Turner exhibition.
As front of house I loved the meeting and greeting and hearing how people connected with the exhibition.
The programs and kids area were really well received. People loved the concerts and workshops.
I attended a few of the talks, the microphones really help with a big group. Some of the curators are really knowledgeable, but public speaking is not their forte.
All the support team were excellent for the volunteers. This really assists to make the jobs work well. I also love working with all the different volunteers.
In regards to ticket sales-:
The atrium computers worked really well, but there was only two credit machines to three computers, which meant some shuffling. The credit machine would also run out of gas at inopportune moments if it hadn’t been charged enough.
In the vestibule the ipads were not as good. They also ran down on battery and had to be plugged in, the cord for this is awkward. And if it is plugged into charge the keyboard doesn’t respond.
I would hope if another big exhibition was held, the gallery could invest in a stand alone computer system in this area. As other galleries have a full complement of computers for ticket sales.
I am now enjoying the post Turner gallery experience. It seems the gallery is a big wet weather place to go. Plus on Saturday the costume guild gathered to enjoy the gallery space and entertain many of the public with their period costumes. Always something to engage with at the gallery.
