VOLUNTEERING

Whether you’re assisting us with public engagement, helping to deliver exciting arts events or simply offering your driving skills for the day, there are many ways you can get involved with ArtHouse Jersey through volunteering.

WHY VOLUNTEER?

We are a charitable organisation working with artists to create ambitious work that has a positive impact on our Island community. If you, like us, believe the arts can make lives better why not join us in our mission to get art into the lives of as many people as possible.

Volunteering is a great way to be a part of the work that we do. As a charity we rely on engaging, approachable and energetic volunteers to ensure that the public has the best possible experience of the art on show. We often need an extra hand getting these exhibitions ready too. Volunteering is a way to meet a whole range of creative people, the artists, the producers and curators and all those who go unseen behind the scenes helping to deliver the projects that we do.  

WHAT ARE THE PERKS?

Our volunteers willingly donate their time and skills to support a cause they care about, for work experience, to develop new skills, to make a welcome difference and to be part of a fun and creative group of like-minded people. Each volunteer is given an ArtHouse Jersey branded t-shirt or jumper, early access to talks, workshops and exhibition launches as well as social meet-ups and training events.
