Rumriver Art Center depends on volunteers to help in a variety of ways. As a volunteer you are the heart of the art center. We depend on your talents to help us keep the art center running smoothly. We have a variety of opportunities listed below. Click the linked title for more information and to sign up to volunteer.
Class Assistant: Aid our teaching artists in the art classroom! Some of our classes with younger students, an abundance of students, or special materials, need extra hands. Volunteers must be at least 14 years old, ready for hands-on creating with kids, and have experience with art materials. Some classes are held at Rumriver Art Center and some are held off-site at parks or schools. Volunteer with us and get a taste of the art education life.
Gallery Assistant: Help folks attending our gallery spaces navigate the building and answer questions they may have regarding the artist.
Creative Tasks and Projects: If you like to make art or enjoy doing creative projects this is the volunteer opportunity for you! We are looking for folks who would like to help us enhance our spaces by assisting with some of our murals, creating and updating signage, updating and decorating chalkboards, helping complete example artworks for our classes and more.
Mindless Tasks: Want to help in your community? Using your brain power all day and ready to tune out? Help Rumriver with repetitive tasks that will put you in a flow state. Duties include sharpening pencils, prepping paper by taping to a background, organizing supplies (color coordinating, tidying up), cleaning tools, and more. Sign up once or make it a weekly habit! Slots include 2-hour shifts on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
