With busy lives, it can be hard to find time to volunteer. However, the benefits of volunteering can be enormous. Volunteering offers vital encouragement to emerging artist and current artist, helping them grow, learn, and enrich our community. Beyond that, the benefits can be even greater for you, the volunteer!

Giving in even simple ways can greatly help others and at the same time improve your health and happiness.
