The Firehouse Art Center provides many opportunities to support the arts through volunteerism. Volunteers have the opportunity to learn marketable skills, contribute current skills, explore new areas of interest, meet stimulating people, and enhance the Longmont arts community.
Please see the following opportunities for volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering, please click on the links below or email elaine@firehouseart.org. We look forward to hearing from you!
OPEN DATES FOR VOLUNTEERING (EXHIBIT HOST/EVENT HELP/EXHIBIT HELP)-
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AZpjWG_f_5OBzYUzmIEVWXnqTk7MRw4Q2dlECzfIASk/edit?usp=sharing
Exhibit Host- Weekdays and Weekends from 11:45-5:15pm- Exhibit hosts needed at the gallery to interact with the community. We would love to have recurring regular volunteers (ex. “every Thurs” or “third Wed”) but single dates also welcome. Exhibit hosts sit at the front desk. They greet guests and inform them about the current exhibits, and if there is art work upstairs on in the back gallery. They also ask people to sign in in the guest book. Exhibit hosts are also responsible for any sales transactions from the shop or the exhibit, retail and money handling experience is appreciated, but there will be training provided to process sales.
Your most important responsibility is to share about the exhibit, and let guests know about the Firehouse. We will have flyers that share programming info, so you wouldn’t need to memorize anything, you can just hand out the flyers and direct people to the chalkboard calendar. It’s a great way to connect with the community and support our organization’s belief that art belongs to everyone. Our gallery has no admission fee and we invite all members of the community to experience the art on our walls. While we would love to have a recurring volunteer, we are willing to be flexible!
Please email info@firehouseart.org if interested in any of the open dates listed here. You will need to complete Art Sitter training which is held every Saturday between 12pm and 5pm. Please email info@firehouseart.org to schedule training and to sign up for open times.
