Support our arts classes by volunteering your time to help us prepare art materials and classroom spaces. Duties may include organizing art materials, preparing classrooms for lesson plans, cleaning classrooms after classes, organizing curriculum materials or similar. This support does not include attending or supporting classes as they are running. Note: Regular recurring hours are most helpful. Hours are typically between 10am and 5pm Monday - Friday.

Welcome patrons and answer questions in our galleries and our shop. Volunteers who support the gallery will help maintain our shop area and will be trained to process sales and package sold artworks. Other duties may include helping to update merchandising, light cleaning, inventory control and directing visitors to information about LUX programs. Note: A background check is required because volunteers may be asked to handle money and payment systems. Our galleries are open 10am to 5pm Monday through Saturday. Friday and Saturday help is most useful.

Our galleries are open from 5pm to 8pm on the First Friday of the month (second Fridays in January and July). These events are a fun way to host the public with snacks and drinks. Volunteers can help us with setup and take-down, replenish snacks, serve drinks and interact with patrons in our gallery spaces to answer their questions. Note: Great for limited availability and commitment once a month.

The LUX hosts free art making events for the public at different times throughout the year. Typically one in January and one in early fall. We also host an art Auction in April. Volunteers will help with setup and take-down, and can be on hand to support art making activities with visitors. Note: Great way to support high-impact events that need a lot of hands.

At different times the LUX will set up an artmaking activity table with partner organizations to take part in festivals and community projects hosted by other organizations. This is a fun way to promote the LUX with hands-on art making. Table events typically run between 1 and 3 hours. Note: Interested volunteers will be contacted about upcoming dates as they are added to the schedule. Volunteers must arrange their own transportation to and from event.

There is always a need for basic repair projects and upkeep of the grounds around the LUX. Support might include raking leaves, cleaning up property areas, cleaning windows and light repair work around the campus. Note: Flexible schedule, typically within normal operating hours: Monday - Saturday 10am until 5pm. Provides a direct support to keeping our facilities running smooth and looking great.
