VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEMBERS

Being a City Art Centre member means you can sign up for responsibilities for art shows we are involved in. For example, help make tags for paintings, be responsible for hanging paintings, help design posters, suggest the theme for shows, and transport art work if the show is offsite, clean up before and after the show.
