EAG VOLUNTEERS
As we gear up to the next season of shows and programs for the guild, we need volunteers to help in some key areas. Please commit to at least 4 hours per year in any of the following volunteer opportunities. If each member gave only 4 hours, we would never need to ask for help!
Volunteers Needed
Committee for 250th Anniversary of Declaration of Independence Show
Show dates 9/13 2026 to 10/16/2026. Contact Debra Vaccaro at gvac@sbcglobal.net.
Closet Chaos Conquerors Needed!!
We store a wide range of supplies in our tiny closet and *wow* is it crowded and inefficient! Gallery Exhibits, Programs, Art in Wilder Park, & Hospitality committees are seeking to create a new committee of volunteers to help solve our closet organization problems. Organization, interior design and carpentry advice welcome! We’d like to have a meeting in the gallery to discuss ideas some time in June. Contact Jennifer via gallery.exhibits@elmhurstartistsguild.org to help out with this project.
Contact Volunteer Coordinator Janet Roller-Schmidt if you are interested in
or have questions about any position.
