Retail Volunteer: ​Downtown Gallery

Blue Ridge Art Space Volunteer
We have been given an incredible opportunity to use a prime location in downtown Boone for a Gallery and Creative Collaborative space. We need volunteers to help us staff the building in order to allow the public to come and safely view and purchase local art. 
Many exciting things are happening in our main building as well! We had a successful Art and Yard Sale in September and raised over $3000 while rehoming beautiful art and making way for new opportunities! We still have more work to do, and would love for you to join us!

Communications Director/Support

Decorating/Interior Design 
We have a team of interns who help with social media, writing etc. We need someone who can help guide the students and help us create and implement an intentional communication strategy.
With the new art gallery downtown and the Blue Ridge ArtSpace we need guidance on how to make these spaces functional, appealing and fun or engaging.​

Website Planner and Designer

Through our amazing growth we find ourself switching to a new online platform. We are looking for someone confident in Squarespace to adopt a more sophisticated and clean website in order to grow. We are seeking grant money to make it possible to help pay for this but we need help planning this out and determining the best strategy before we apply. 

Programs Coordinator

Looking for someone who can help us plan and manage classes, workshops, artist demonstrations, and more. We would love to start to implement more arts-in-action for the Art Collective and more classes at Blue Ridge ArtSpace - COVID brought this to a halt so we are rebuilding but hopefully expanding and improving our offerings. ​
