“Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You can vote in elections, but when you volunteer you vote everyday about the kind of community you want to live in.”
Do You Want To Volunteer?
We have the great privilege of being a volunteer-run Gallery. Since 1948, artists and community members have banded together and generously given their time and talents. Volunteers are the lifeblood of our Gallery.
Sales Desk Volunteer
Sales desk volunteers are the face visitors see first. They host the Gallery, provide customer service, write up sales, process payments, answer the phone, and give out general information about the Gallery. Before they start, volunteers will receive training on how to run the sales desk. Most people volunteer for one or two shifts a month. The shifts are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM - 2 PM or 2 PM - 5:30 PM (5:00 PM on Saturdays).
Redo Volunteer
We hang a new show every month and refresh the sales gallery with new work that artists bring in. "Re-Do" is typically the first Monday of the month and involves taking down last month's art and putting up the new art. Previous experience isn't required, but an artistic eye is helpful. Come for an all-day experience or just a couple of hours. It's fun to visit with other volunteers, meet the new featured artists, and get an exclusive first look at our new featured show.
Special Events & Projects
We use volunteers for special events and projects to represent the Gallery at community functions, to stuff envelopes, and to work at Art in the Park, our biggest event and fundraiser of the year. If you have skills to offer and want to be involved, we'd love to find a place for you!
