Come work with us!

New Community’s ArtSpace is able to offer arts workshops that are always affordable and mostly FREE because of our dedicated cadre of volunteers.

The opportunities are endless and our Space has literally been shaped by the energy of the volunteer staff. You can be integral in exposing youth and adults to the arts and fostering creative expression, community building and fellowship.

Artist Exchange Program

We recognize that our volunteers are highly talented artists and the ArtSpace puts our full support into their success. In exchange for your teaching service we will work with you to find an equitable exchange within the offerings of the ArtSpace. Within our operating hours it may be possible for a teaching artist to use our facilities to expand their own skills are economic opportunities.

Memberships provide ArtSpace with the critical support that it needs to promote and nurture its mission. These memberships directly impact our ability to create high quality community based arts programming that is showcased at our annual Holiday Bizarre and monthly exhibitions.
