PR Committee
When someone requests a tour:
If you can handle it, great. Otherwise:
Post to the main list asking if someone is free to arrange a tour. Remove any contact info from that post.
Forward the request to the board so that, if someone responds on the main list, any board member can provide them contact info.
Respond to the requester letting them know you forwarded the request and someone will get back to them.

The art show is outside the normal board member responsibilities
