GET INVOLVED

Support Grand Rapids’ grassroots creativity in a way that fits your schedule.

ART CLUB

Join our art club! We are currently building a core team of volunteers who will use their specialties to positively impact art and artists in Grand Rapids. Time commitment varies but is typically 1 hour per week plus a monthly art club meeting where you can check in, meet other volunteers, and work in a communal setting.

Sign up below and join us at our volunteer orientation mixer at 6pm on Wednesday, 4/26 at 106 S Division Ave.

EVENT VOLUNTEERS

Want to experience the energy of an art event? Several times a year we are in need of volunteers to help make big events come to life.
