Volunteering for PAG: As a member of our artist Guild, we encourage you to help with our various events and activities. We ask that each member accomplish a minimum of four volunteer hours each year. Volunteering reduces our organization’s costs and enables us to provide more opportunities for every member that may not be possible otherwise. Our past experiences exhibit that volunteering is a satisfying and rewarding activity!
Below are areas that volunteers are needed. Our hope is that you will find something especially to your liking. Not only does volunteering allow you to meet other members, but you are likely to find a few activities particularly fun and engaging. Perhaps it is helping with Art in the Park, setting up gallery shows or teaching a class for Lessons and Lemonade. We are certain you will enjoy the experience and the friendships you will develop over time.
Our website offers you the chance to volunteer the exact hours you would be available for at any event you are interested in, and occasionally you will receive an email opportunity. PAG asks that you look over the requests and volunteer when and where you can.
