For adults who face mental health challenges
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. For every twenty hours of use of studio space members must participate in one hour of cleaning: keep art supplies and frames in order, organize your own cubby hole, clean work station after use, sweep and mop the floor, keep bathrooms clean and tidy the lounge. We encourage members to be active in maintaining City Art Centre to create a place of harmony.
Volunteer coordinators are the backbone of our organization. They open and close the centre during office hours, answer the phone, greet potential members and provide tours and info for the centre. They do light clean up, make coffee and provide members with free art supplies. They deal with the intake of donations and also process art sales.
Volunteer coordinators are involved with the organization of art shows and coordinate the opening receptions. They carry out administrative duties such as light filing. Volunteer coordinators undergo training about all facets of City Art Centre procedures. They must have a calling for helping people, and be attentive and intuitive. They must be able to handle all situations that arise in the day-to-day running of the centre.
Volunteer coordinators are paid a per diem and no art experience is needed.
