Gallery Patch & Paint

We will be patching, sanding, and spot painting the ACSEMO Gallery and the Micro Galleries in preparation for the last exhibition in our current gallery.

Children’s Arts Festival

We are having a weekend long bash for the 25th Anniversary of the Children's Arts Festival! The theme this year is Yellow Submarine, so think Beatles psychedelic 60s vibes. The downtown will be transformed into Pepperland with window murals, art, and music so it is going to be a fun, colorful event! This year, we will be celebrating and exhibiting the artwork at Scout Hall with live music, face painting, and more! That is where we need your help! We have opportunities for Friday, February 7th and Saturday, February 8th.

February 7th First Friday with the Arts

February will be a special First Friday with the Arts! It is the last celebration in our current gallery before we move locations. The Children's Arts Festival is also taking place at Scout Hall the same night, so we need all hands on deck!

Why should I volunteer?

We believe in our mission, and we couldn’t succeed without the tireless work of volunteers. Volunteering comes with a host of benefits to not only your community but to your health and happiness as well! Studies show that people who volunteer encounter less stress! Also who could resist dipping your fingers in some paint and helping your community at the same time?

How do I sign up?

We thought you’d never ask! Signing up to volunteer is really simple. As volunteers are needed we will add active link buttons to this page, as you can see below. Each form will give you information about the volunteer opportunity and walk you through signing up. All you have to do is fill out the digital form, hit SUBMIT, and you’re set!

If you want to sign up even when we don’t have specific volunteer opportunities listed, fill out the general volunteer form and we will be in touch!

 

We also offer internships. We host semester, year long, and flexible internships. Generally we will put out a call for applications but we are always open to hearing from interested parties! Send us an email- artscouncil@capearts.org
