VOLUNTEER
The Anton Art Center offers an array of opportunities to make a difference in your community and support the arts!
​
Art Market – The Art Market is the jewel of the Anton Art Center and is stocked with the unique works of local artists. Volunteers handle sales and answer questions during one of two shifts scheduled each day. You may choose a shift weekly, monthly or as a fill-in. Holiday Market is our weeks long holiday extravaganza with extended hours, special events and a huge need for volunteers (November and December.)
Exhibit Receiving & Pick Up – Art work coming in for new shows and markets and going back to artists when a show closes needs to be checked in and out on scheduled days. It is a great chance to see the art work first and talk with the artists.
Gallery Prep – This crew works after every exhibit is taken down to prepare the walls for the new show. A little spackling, a little painting once a month or so and you can help us prepare to show off new art work.
Receptions & Openings – Extra volunteers are always needed to help set up, greet visitors, serve refreshments and clean up at special events. An added bonus is the fun of being at the center on these occasions.
Classes - Student and Adult volunteers are invited to assist our teachers and students in the classroom.
​
Community Engagement and Events - We love to host or attend events to share information about the Art Center and provide art experiences for the community. We rely on our volunteers to help with set-up and tear-down, providing information to visitors and assisting guests with art activities.
Special Event Committees – The ArtParty Fundraiser and Holiday Market occur through the hard work of staff and volunteer committees. If you like to plan and implement ideas, please join a special event committee to help the center raise money and friends.
Other opportunities include working on mailings, gardening, seasonal cleaning, light maintenance and repair, laundry, data entry, classroom support and
gallery/tour docents.
