Volunteers

Do you enjoy the visual arts, performing arts and young people? Have talent for event planning or gallery tours? Then join the friendly ArtStarts team!

As a volunteer, you could assist with gallery sitting, exhibitions, receptions and special events, our annual performing arts showcase, and daily administration (data entry, proofreading, and mail outs).

FOUR WAYS TO GET INVOLVED!

1. Gallery volunteers
Gallery volunteers commit to a weekly or bi-weekly minimum of 4 hours over an 8-to-12 week period (or longer if you prefer). Your main task will be to sit at our sunny reception desk, greet visitors and answer questions in person and on the phone as well as daily administrative work. You are given orientation and training and an overview of the gallery operations.

2. Special event volunteers (for those with limited time)
Events volunteers assist with special events and projects as they arise such as exhibition openings, installations and take down. As a event volunteer, you bring a specific skill which you have or want to enhance/improve on and we can use for short periods.

3. Coop students, career practicums and career training.
For students interested in exploring or enhancing their non-profit experience, ArtStarts offers a range of opportunities within our gallery and office space.

4. The ArtStarts Showcase
Held annually at the Roundhouse, this 3-day performing arts showcase features over 40 mini-performances for over 100 school programmers from across BC and Canada. Volunteer opportunities include: Student Audience Services, Artist Services/Back Stage Host, Production Assistant and Delegate Services.
