Opportunity Details
Community Arts Sampler
The Visual Arts Center of Richmond is dedicated to providing enriching arts education opportunities to the Richmond community. Their First Friday Sampler programming, including Gallery Openings, allows them to welcome the community and to connect people with the art-making process by offering "samplers."
Volunteer duties for Samplers include aiding in registration for two sessions of hour-long workshops, directing people, assisting instructors in classrooms, helping with decoration, set-up and clean-up. Some of the Sampler events coincide with Gallery Openings or Special Events. Volunteer duties at Openings and Events include tending bar, helping with set-up of food, drinks, and tables, as well as working as Gallery Attendant. Other side-projects will be designated as needed, and will mostly involve studio organization and/or decoration.
The parking lot is in the alley behind the building between Main and Floyd and there is a back entrance. Street parking is also available.
If volunteering as a bartender, gallery attendant, sampler registration helper: Casual to dressy clothes, jeans are fine, comfortable shoes. If volunteering as a studio assistant or around the bldg : Clothes you don’t mind getting dirty and close-toed shoes. Since you won’t know what tasks you’ll be assigned ahead of time, please plan accordingly.
All volunteers who plan to attend must be registered. This includes youth. If the post indicates adults must be present, youth and adults must register using the team functionality. To learn more about our team functionality, please view our Volunteer with a Group page.
If allowed on the project, any youth volunteers under the age of 18 must bring a parent-signed youth waiver to the project. The waiver can be found after sign up on the confirmation page or by visiting our Volunteer with Youth page.
Registration for this project will close 12 hours in advance.
