Volunteers
River Arts’ volunteers are a dedicated team who greet customers, help with artwork check in and out, install exhibitions, do much of the behind the scenes work and maintain the professionalism in the gallery. We are always interested in recruiting new talent. We are especially interested in people who are able to work year round and are detail oriented. Must be able to lift and move artwork. River Arts moves hundreds of works for every show.
