Volunteer With Us.


Do you love art openings and want a glimpse into what it takes to host one?
This could be the perfect volunteer opportunity for you!

As an Event Volunteer, you’ll play a key role in helping our gallery shine during special events. Responsibilities may include:

  • Cashiering (experience with Square POS is a plus, but brief training will be provided)

  • Counting visitors

  • Assisting with artist name tags

  • Bartending or serving food and drinks

  • Helping with setup and cleanup

  • Photographing the event

  • Hosting creative activities

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?
Join us as a Gallery Turnover Volunteer and help bring our exhibitions to life!

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.
