Gathering of the Guilds - Load In

Gathering of the Guilds - Load In

The Gathering of the Guilds (GOTG) is one of the largest art shows in the Northwest. Six Guilds and hundreds of artists come together to display and sell their custom made and unique creations at Oregon Convention Center. The Guild has the largest booth in the show and this is our biggest community event of the year. We use this large gathering to showcase our skills as woodworkers and the benefits the Guild can bring to the community and recruit new members. 

The shift activities include helping other exhibitors unload their vehicles and move their items to their booth.  This helps the move in go quickly and keeps the small parking area by the loading dock from getting backed up.  You need to be able to lift and carry a maximum of about 25 pounds for this work. Most of the stuff is pretty light, but it can be bulky and awkward.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are implementing additional safety requirements for Guild events. Before you arrive for your scheduled session, please ensure the following:

• You are in good health and not living with anyone who is ill with COVID-19 or experiencing symptoms of a respiratory infection.  
• You are following the CDC guidelines if you have tested positive for COVID-19 or have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
