Sharing Art | Working as a gallery attendant

Who keeps a watchful eye over the daily comings and goings in an art gallery? Who can help make your visit that bit more memorable? And what's it like to share stories about art with visitors old and young? In Sharing Art, Janet Brinsden tells us about her role as a gallery attendant; her duties and responsibilities; the importance of storytelling in her life; and why a cardigan is called a cardigan. Working With Art is a series from the National Galleries of Scotland, where we delve into the different roles across our galleries. We ask: what do people do in an art gallery? What's happening behind the scenes? And what is it really like to work with art? Produced by the National Galleries of Scotland, with music by Alex Johnston. Special thanks to all staff who participated in production.
