![]() Do you love art openings and want a glimpse into what it takes to host one? As an Event Volunteer, you’ll play a key role in helping our gallery shine during special events. Responsibilities may include:
Our biggest nights happen every 1st Friday of the month, when the Cultural Arts Center hosts a building-wide celebration. Gallery volunteers are a vital part of this evening! Event hours are from 6–9 PM, and volunteer shifts run 5–7 PM and 7–9 PM. These nights are busy, vibrant, and full of energy—and we always appreciate extra helping hands! | Interested in gaining behind-the-scenes experience at a gallery? In this role, you'll assist with preparing the gallery for new shows, including tasks like spackling, sanding, painting walls, cleaning, drilling, and installing artwork. While prior experience is preferred, it's not required—our Gallery Coordinator will be there to provide guidance and support. This is a hands-on opportunity, so you should be comfortable performing physical tasks. That said, we’ll never ask you to do anything you’re not comfortable with. Please wear clothing suitable for painting and light manual work. |
Whether it's during summer camps, after-school programs, or in our bustling pottery studio, we’re always looking for extra hands to help support our creative community!
Work side-by-side with our talented instructors to assist with every step of the art-making process—from setup and guiding children through projects to cleanup and organization. You’ll serve as a positive role model for our young artists while gaining valuable, real-world experience in a dynamic learning environment.
