Next Adventure!

Wednesday was my first day as the Special Events intern at The Andy Warhol Museum. First I got acquainted with the space and the general museum procedures. I sat down with my supervisor and discussed what I was looking to get out of this internship and what he lessons he could provide me with. I then reviewed event information pertaining to the Warhol such as rental pricings, catering and history on the Warhol. The Warhol is currently playing a film on Andy Warhol's life and in the midst of switching their 'special exhibits.' I began doing research on competing event spaces in Pittsburgh on things such as price, number of rooms for rental and the size of rental rooms. On Saturday I shadowed a meeting with a couple having their wedding at the Warhol in October. Ryan (my supervisor) went over thing such as technology logistics, food, bars, floor layout and an event timeline of the night. With Warhol weddings, you can also get tours of the buildings and printing studio time. After the meeting we met a client hosting event Saturday night and helped them set up the room and arrange the furniture. Every party is different and has a different and aesthetics. 

I'm very excited to continue my internship next week!
