Meet Our Summer Intern

We are very excited to have Elizabeth Marchmeier as our summer intern. She will be writing blogs about her experiences in the gallery. Here is Elizabeth’s first blog:

First of all, I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Elizabeth Machmeier, and I’m a senior at DePauw University in the small city of Greencastle, Indiana. I’m studying English Literature and Art History, with a minor in Spanish. My experience throughout college with art is the foundation of why I was drawn to the Anita Sue Kolman Gallery. I was introduced to Anita through my mom, who shares a mutual friend with Anita. I was seeking a summer marketing internship, even though I hadn’t done much work with marketing in the past. Anita’s gallery was a perfect fit, because I wouldn’t be confined to helping out in just one specific area. Working with a small gallery that does all of its own marketing, financing, and sales has already been a great experience, (and I’ve only been working with the gallery for about 3 weeks!) Throughout the summer, I hope to gain a better understanding of what marketing an art gallery entails in order to build relationships and create a customer base. I’ll be writing posts on the gallery’s facebook page and am helping Anita plan upcoming events. Please come and visit the gallery on Saturdays from 12-4 and the first Thursday of each month, and keep an eye on the Anita Sue Kolman Gallery facebook page for upcoming events in the Summer Salon. I’ve already learned a lot about how a gallery works and am greatly looking forward to learning more!
