Date: June 3, 2025
The SOS members’ Spring/Launch Exhibition at the The Old Theatre, Framlingham, will run from Thursday 29th May to Tuesday 3rd June 2025, 10am-4pm.
As always, we need your help to make this event a success. Therefore, in addition to the usual stewarding slots, we have once again added further opportunities for you to offer assistance.
Wednesday 28th May, 9.00am-1pm – we need six volunteers to assist by checking in artists’ work when it arrives at the venue (drop-off actually starts at 9.30am, so we have allowed for a short briefing prior to opening the doors to artists).
Friday 30th May – in addition to the morning and afternoon stewarding slots, we would appreciate some help between 4pm and 8pm setting up, and assisting, during and after the Private View.
Finally, on Tuesday 3rd June, in addition to the morning and afternoon stewarding slots, we will need four volunteers to help between 4pm and 6pm with checking out artists’ work and tidying up .
It is a condition of entry that each exhibiting artist volunteers at least once during the exhibition. Please choose your preferred date(s) and time(s) from the following list. Feel free to select as many as you would like, but do make sure to leave plenty of opportunities for others.
NB For your safety, Suffolk Open Studios does not permit lone “working” (volunteering) so if we are unable to fill certain stewarding slots, the exhibition will not open at those times and the potential for any sales will be lost, not to mention the inconvenience it will cause to visitors who may have traveled to the venue especially.
Parking: There is no on-site parking for volunteers. Public car park fees vary depending on the location and time of day. Suffolk Open Studios will be offering volunteers £2 towards any parking fees incurred while assisting with the exhibition.
