VALA, Venues for Artists in the Local Area, Eastside, is a 501c3, non-profit arts organization committed to connecting artists to artists, artists to the community, and the community to art. We are thrilled to be opening the new VALA Art Center, located in the Redmond Town Center, where we will feature artist residencies, installations by local artists, public community events, and educational programs for all ages. We hope the VALA Art Center will become a hotspot for artists in the community to meet, share and create.
As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity use your skills, connect with artists and the public while helping operate this very special community public art venue in Redmond. You don’t have to be an artist to volunteer with VALA. We are looking for volunteers who are passionate about art, enjoy interacting with the public and feel committed to raising awareness about art in our community.
Responsibilities include:
- Opening and/or closing the center
- Greeting guests as they arrive
- Distributing information about VALA and our programming
- Familiarizing yourself with the artwork on display and directing visitors to artist contact information
- Other opportunities may become available
