Art Installation / Reception Assistance
Volunteers are vital to our thrice-yearly art exhibits, from assisting the artists with installation of the artwork to greeting guests at the evening reception, serving refreshments, assisting with set-up and clean-up. Receptions and art hanging are held three times per year in the early evening. Some training is required. We would want someone willing to make a commitment of at least one year.
