Volunteer Orientations/ information sessions take place on the third Thursday of each month at 6:00 pm. Those who are interested in attending the Volunteer Orientation are encouraged to contact us at volunteer@gachet.org or at 604.687.2468.
Our Volunteer Membership Program offers access to our facility and programs in exchange for volunteering with us. It also offers a wide range of opportunities for learning at all levels, including communication skills, exhibition coordination, learning about non-profit organization management, professional development skills for artists and arts administration skills. Volunteer Members find that through their experience with Gallery Gachet, they have an opportunity to increase their knowledge on many levels, transferring their new-found skills to other areas of their lives. Volunteer opportunities include:
- Gallery Hosting - Preparation of the gallery space, exhibitions and assistance with gallery openings

VOLUNTEER NEWS
Hello
We have a number of volunteer opportunities available varying from finding and cutting out images and text for collages to organizing an event from beginning to end.
First Steps: If you're not yet part of our volunteer network, please sign up on our social network site. You can meet most of our current volunteers (and lots of artists and community organizers as well). It's free and you can even post your own events and comments. We send out regular e-newsletters. Sign up by clicking that link. (And forward to any friends who might be interested too). Send a note with a resume or note about why you want to volunteer with us to volunteer@cacv.ca and I'll make sure it gets forwarded to the right committee chair or organizer. Mary Bennett
PS - On a personal note, I have an exhibition of my mixed-media art with friend and painter/sculptor, Louise Bunn, at the Amelia Douglas Gallery at Douglas College in New Westminster. Douglas College is just a block away from the Skytrain station in New Westminster. |

Mayworks: Mail Art
| |
Community Arts Council of Vancouver
Invites you to celebrate
May Day by creating a 5"x7" mail art to send before April 1 to Ed Varney for an exhibition on Vancouver Island.
Our volunteers (including you?) will be facilitating collage making during March.
You could help by:
- collecting and cutting out images and text around the theme of "work", "labour" and "employment"
- being at an event and helping people create their art
- organizing materials and sending art
- promoting this event and the whole idea of mail art on our social media and websites.
- Respond to mary@cacv.ca and let me know how you'd like to be involved.
This project ends March 31 when we mail off the art, but we plan to do similar projects like this (such as what we did for World Community Arts Day in February).
