Manager of the Inaugural Edition of a New Contemporary Art Fair

The inaugural PHOTOFAIRS New York, a contemporary art fair for photo-based and digital art, took place at Manhattan's Jacob K. Javits Center in September 2023. Under Haley's management, the event hosted over 50 exhibiting fine art galleries and partner organizations, and welcomed over 8,000 visitors in a 4-day period.

Strategic Event Organizer at a National Nonprofit Organization

As the National Programs & Chapters Manager at ArtTable, Haley was responsible for ensuring that all programs aligned with the organization's mission and brand, as well as coordinating details and logistics for all events. Haley organized over 100 programs during her tenure, both virtual and in-person across the country.

UPSTATE ART WEEKEND

Starting in the summer of 2020, Haley assisted the team at STONELEAF RETREAT in Kingston, NY to organize the inaugural Upstate Art Weekend (UPAW), a weekend event promoting creative spaces in the Hudson Valley by providing a curated road map for those wanting to explore and enjoy art in the region. Her tasks included designing and implementing a social media plan for the event, writing Instagram copy for each participating organization, creating Instagram stories, and efficiently collating all participant information for the website. Haley also traveled to many of the participating 20 organizations, from Poughkeepsie to Hudson, meeting with the participants and documenting their exhibitions and events.

International Fine Print Dealers Association

Haley joined the team at IFPDA in May of 2019 as the Communications & Programs Coordinator. In this role, she created and managed the organization's overall communications calendar, which included communications surrounding the IFPDA Fine Art Print Fair, the IFPDA Foundation, and general membership communications with IFPDA members throughout the year. Haley also managed the IFPDA's social media accounts, increasing the organization's overall following by nearly 500%. In addition to coordinating all communications, Haley planned and executed on-site programming during the fair as well as off-site VIP programming at various museums and institutions throughout New York City. She worked closely with the Fair Manager and Operations Manager to coordinate all on-site shipping logistics for approximately 75 exhibitors and vendors.

The Armory Show

Haley began at The Armory Show as a temporary Administrative Assistant. After five months, she was promoted to a full-time role due to her ability to work cross-departmentally and implement organizational systems. In this position, Haley acted as an assistant both to the office as a whole, as well as to each department of the fair as needed. In the Administrative department, she acted as the office's liaison with its Chicago-based parent company on matters such as Human Resources and IT. She managed the Executive Director's incredibly busy travel schedule, expenses, and overall calendar; coordinated weekly Production Meetings by compiling the agenda, post-meeting minutes, and action items; received all incoming mail and distributed throughout the office; kept a detailed inventory of office supplies and ordered more as needed; and was the first point of contact for all general information or questions about the fair.

Ramsay Fairs

Throughout the year 2016, Haley held various roles at New York's Affordable Art Fair and PULSE Contemporary Art Fair, both owned by Ramsay Fairs. In her first role as Fair Assistant for the last New York edition of PULSE, she assisted with various tasks as needed, including organizing exhibitor forms and information, tracking form submissions, and assisting with on-site setup and breakdown. Having proved that she was a reliable and efficient team member, she was welcomed back for the Spring and Fall editions of the Affordable Art Fair as the Volunteer Coordinator. In this role, she reached out to and hired volunteers for the fair, compiled the run-of-show schedule for approximately 15 volunteers, and delegated tasks as needed throughout the week. In additional to her volunteer coordinator responsibilities, Haley assisted the Fair Manager in compiling on-site forms in preparation for the fair and coordinated all freight load-in and load-out at the start and end of the fair by liaising with the venue's labor union. In her final role with the Ramsay Fairs team, Haley traveled to Miami Beach for PULSE Contemporary Art Fair, where she hired and scheduled on-site volunteers, delegated tasks, and assisted all team members as needed.
