Each year the number of people that volunteer at Mesa
Arts Center reaches nearly 800. All of the generous assistance contributes
a value of over $1,000,000 to stretch limited staff resources. Our volunteers
are present in nearly every facet of MAC's work, including the studios, store, offices,
Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum, theaters and facility tours. And our volunteers make our large scale events possible, such as spark! Mesa's Festival of Creativity, and the annual Dia de los Muertos
Festival.
Whether you are looking to fuel your artistic interests and
abilities or you would just like to get more involved in your community, volunteering at Mesa
Arts Center is a wonderful way to give back while supporting
arts and culture. Beth Benowich, a volunteer and student at Mesa Arts Center
had this to say about her time and experiences here.
I love coming to MAC both as a
student and as an artist/volunteer at The Store at Mesa Arts Center Artist
Co-Op! My jewelry (Jewelry by BBDesigns) was juried in last year. The place is
always buzzing with new ideas and creativity…I love being around all those
tools too! It’s the most incredible facility I’ve ever worked in.
To anyone interested in taking part in the program, take a
look at all of the volunteer opportunities here.
And to all of our current, past and future volunteers, thank you! This blog post was written by Marketing and Public Relations Intern Rachel Finn.
