Julie,
I used to be the Membership Manager but now am Coordinator of Community
Programs for the Education Department. At the Memorial Art Gallery we have a
task force for previews/openings made up of a small group of volunteers and
staff members from three departments: Membership/Development, Exhibitions
and Curatorial. Membership takes the lead in coordinating the event.
Previews/openings also falls under Membership's budget line. The Director of
Marketing and Development finds corporate sponsors to underwrite a portion
of the event. For a typical opening party, we can attract as little as 1200
or as many as 1700 people. Normally, 35 staff members and about 15-20
volunteers work the evening of the event. The system seems to work pretty
well.

Subject: Exhibition receptions--policy query
Just out of curiosity, how do you handle opening receptions for exhibitions?
Is this done out of the exhibitions department, the special events
department, the membership or development department, or a combination?
Whose budget line does it fall under, and who does the work to organize it?
How does this work for you, and if it doesn't, how would you see it
happening ideally?
Thanks for any and all information and advice, on or off list.
