ArtsErie relies on the help of volunteers from the community to provide office assistance and occasional help at grant hearings and other events. Students, retirees, and anybody looking to get involved is welcome!

In the office, tasks vary depending on the volunteer’s skills and interests, and may include answering phones, entering data, preparing mailings, and assisting with our website.

At grant hearings, volunteers assist with running A/V equipment and organizing work samples.

In most cases, volunteers are needed between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. For information, contact ArtsErie.
