WANTED

If your new year's resolutions include more outreach in the community, please consider coming to the Guild for a couple of hours to help out by receiving art (a great way to meet artists and get sneak peeks at what's going up on the walls before anyone else does), setting up/cleaning up, and working at our exciting art openings, and other tasks that come up during the year. Once we know you're interested, we'll email you with times, dates, and work opportunities that you're free to say yes or no to.  We also need co-chairs for exhibitions and would like to fill some new board positions, so don't be shy.  For more information contact Mary Louise O'Connell at mloconnell@sbcglobal.net.  Learn about ways you can make the Guild even better.

DONATIONS
Our Annual Appeal for donations continues all year long.  Please consider giving a gift to the Guild and help keep art alive and well in Ridgefield and the surrounding community. Click here to make a donation or contact Joan Isaac at rgoa@sbcglobal.net for more information.

Spring & Summer
INTERNS 
Again this year, we look forward to hosting a high school senior as an intern at the Guild.  Working at RGA is a rewarding, real-world experience for any young person, and we look forward to this sojourn with another senior.  Also, we would like to invite college students to apply for positions as interns for the summer as we start to build our camp staff.  This is a fun and richly rewarding internship!  Contact Joan at the Guild for more information about these positions. Her email is rgoa@sbcglobal.net.
