volunteer-opportunities

Do you have a child at CRES with a passion for art-making?  Would you like an opportunity to help out in the CRES Studio?  If so, I am always looking for volunteers in the CRES Studio.

Some tasks might include:

  • Helping hang work in the hallways at CRES.
  • Assisting students with preparing their portfolios at the end of the Trimester
  • Helping with art exhibits.
  • Helping with general tasks in the studio.
