RE: Museum "Packing and Crating" Department

["Geri Thomas" <gthomas@artstaffing.com>]

Hey Brent, hope all is well with you.  I'm looking to fill several shipping
expediters positions for my auction house clients.  Anyone come to mind?
Good salary and benefits in NYC.  Will you be at AAM?  Re travelling
exhibitions:  I fold the costs for crating, labor (art handlers/packers)
into the loan fee.  For couriers, I have the organizations taking the
exhibition agree to a per diem that must be available to them when they
arrive at the borrowing organization.  For any additional labor needed at
the venue, I invoice them, payable within 10 days.  Looking forward to
seeing you some day soon. Invite me to give a workshop on something! All
best, Geri

To All,

I am currently writing a "Business Plan" for introducing and staffing a
dedicated "In-House" Packing and Crating section within the National Gallery
of Victoria. I would appreciate hearing examples of how it works at your
institution and what is the current reporting structure.

The main issue that I need addressed is how different institutions approach
the "accounting requirements" for labour/materials costs in regard to
invoicing for and being reimbursed by borrowing institutions. I am looking
at case scenarios for both "outward loans" and "travelling exhibitions".

Any comments either on-line or direct would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Brent Powell
