Cramer, If you are unsure I would first ask the Chairperson for some direction. Ask questions like: is this a juried show? What are the delivery and pick up dates for the artwork? What kind of volunteer base do you have to help you? Will there be advertising needed for the submission of work as well as preparations for the opening of the show? Do the artists wish to have someone critique their art. Once the art is submitted, who will hang the show?

Try to get a guidline from someone who was involved with a previous show. Do that first and then try to organize a meeting of potential volunteers to help you. Hope this helps.
