Attention all Active, Participating, Student, and Community Members

We have an exciting volunteer opportunity in the gallery this October for Washington County Open Studios!

VGA needs 12 artists to represent the gallery by holding art demonstrations in the classroom. You can bring a project and show your progress, or you can demonstrate a technique and have visitors give it a try. Having teaching experience is a bonus but not a requirement. Just enthusiasm for creating is enough.

Date: Saturday October 17 and Sunday October 18

Time: 2 shifts per day –10am-1:30pm and 1:30pm-5:00pm (3 artists in each time slot)

Sign up now for your choice of shift and day.

Why volunteer?

• Help VGA support its mission of igniting the joy of learning, creating, and appreciating art in our community.
• Support community outreach and education.
• Meet art enthusiasts in our community. We have a lot of first-time visitors during the event.
• Experience talking about your artwork with the public. It is great practice and exposure.
• The time you offer counts toward your volunteer hours for the year!
• Be a face and story for your art.

Closer to the event we will be recruiting additional help supporting the Gallery Assistants as well who can greet visitors and staff our information table. Those hours will also count towards your volunteer requirements for the year.

Gallery Assistants signed up for those dates, please be aware the shifts hours will be slightly longer to meet the requirements for the open studio event. Additional information and reminders will be sent at a later date.

To sign up, please email Chris Kondrat ([email protected]). If you have any questions, you may call Chris at (503) 880-7832 or Amy Mower at (503) 821-9655 (email [email protected])

Thanks,
