- Preparing and hanging the exhibitions in coordination with the artists and shows.
- Updating the Happy website and creating all digital assets around the exhibitions.
- Handling any business tasks such as budgets, public relations, sales, and marketing.
- Managing and Maintaining the space.
Some minimum requirements too:
- Minimum 2 years experience in a commercially focussed art gallery.

- An eye for detail with strong design instincts.
- Excellent listening, negotiation, and presentation abilities.
