ART 2 GO KIT ASSEMBLY
Dates: 3/31 from 1:00 – 3:00pm
Location: Outreach Room at OTAS (near Reception)
With spring drawing near, we are preparing Art2Go Kits for several community events across the valley. We need volunteers to help assemble the kits, which will involve placing several items in a drawstring bag to easily hand out at the events.
POTTERY PAINTING HOSTS
TRAINING REQUIRED. Please contact [email protected] for more information.
Dates: 03/29, 04/02, 05/09
Location: Mixed Media Studio/Multi-Purpose Room
Paint Your Own Pottery (or “PYOP”) is a very exciting service that we offer here on our campus! Like all of our studio services, when individuals book a PYOP party with us (kid’s birthday, team-building activity, family retreat, etc.), proceeds help to offset costs in our mobile mission to bring art lessons into the community! We would love to have your help on some of our busier days. If you love people and enjoy customer service, you would be a great fit for our Pottery Painting Crew! Dates will continuously be added to this schedule, so be sure to keep an eye out of when we need some extra helpers!

MOBILE ARTS PROGRAM OUTREACH

When a group does not have the means to come to our studio, we bring art classes to them! We work with many organizations across the valley, including YMCA, Boys and Girls Club, Hope Through Housing, and more! Our instructor’s need assistance with loading and unloading our mobile outreach van, supporting the students with their art lesson, as well as setting up/cleaning up. Classes can range anywhere from 10-40 students at once, so volunteer help for our instructors is crucial. Outreach classes are fun and extremely rewarding!
