Volunteer
The Upper Valley Art League is a community organization whose members are all volunteers. The operation of UVAL is successful because of the work and time its members put in--from maintenance of the buildings to the exhibition of the artwork.
Questions and Answers About Volunteering
If I volunteer, am I going to be called all the time?
This is a common fear. We respect your commitment whether you can volunteer occasionally or on a regular basis.
How often do I have to come as a front-desk volunteer?
There are three types of volunteer gallery assistants who serve at the front desk. (1) regular who generally commit to weekly assistance (2) those who can help 1-2 times a month (3) those who want to serve as substitutes but only when needed. The gallery can remain open as long as we have someone at the front desk, and so all volunteers are welcome to have a part in making this happen. Generally, we need 7 volunteers per week, each taking half a day, or about 30 slots to be filled per month.
What if I cannot commit on a regular basis?
Many of UVAL's needs are only occasional. For example, hanging the exhibits are only once monthly; and you do do not have to commit to EVERY month. Ideally, we would like to have a list of 8 people who can assist with hanging so it will not depend on the same 2-3 individuals.
What if I cannot volunteer at all?
Not everyone is able to volunteer due to work, family commitments, or health. We appreciate you as an artist-member. In your own way, continue to promote UVAL through word of mouth, inviting others to UVAL. For those who can volunteer, we appreciate your time and commitment to the functioning and successful operation of UVAL.
