VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Become an Event & Project Volunteer at the La Grange Art League!
Our Event & Project Volunteers are essential in making our events and programs run smoothly—from gallery openings and artist receptions to community workshops, fundraisers, and more. Volunteers help with setup and cleanup, welcoming guests, check-in, wayfinding, distributing materials, and making sure everyone feels at home in our space. You may also lend a hand with special projects related to exhibitions, classes, and day-to-day gallery needs.
This is a great opportunity to meet new people, support the arts, and be part of a fun, creative community. Shifts are usually 2–4 hours and happen in the afternoons, evenings, or on weekends. We provide training and guidance so you feel confident and comfortable in your role.
Volunteer Commitment:
After attending a brief orientation (offered several times a year), we ask volunteers to sign up for at least two shifts per month for 6–12 months—or whatever works best with your schedule.
What We’re Looking For:
- Friendly and welcoming attitude.
- Enjoyment in working with people of all backgrounds.
- Comfortable standing for 2–4 hours at a time (with breaks).
- Willingness to jump in where needed and adapt to different roles.
