Would you like to volunteer at ArtSpring? We’re lucky to have over 200 people who give their time and enthusiasm to our year-round events. We couldn’t operate without them. From ushers to technical support, box office to grounds maintenance, admin support to billeting. They’re the people you meet when you come to our shows, and they’re the ones you don’t see as they work tirelessly behind the scenes. Some of our volunteers have even been with us since day one!
Here’s what’s involved in some of our year-round roles:
