My Nonprofit Reviews

I volunteered at Arts of Life for just over a year, and I can't wait until I come back! The artists and staff are some of the best people I have ever met and had the pleasure to work alongside. Despite the COIVD-19 pandemic, the folks at Arts of Life remained positive and had a great outlook on how to work around social distancing and support those who needed to participate in an online setting. My position included managing virtual programming one day a week starting in 2020, which included some art directives to warm up the artists working in the studio and at home as well as discussions about current artwork. In addition to these responsibilities, I had the pleasure of working 1 on 1 with a few artists to work on their individual art practice. The interactions with staff were always warm and supportive and the artists, themselves, were what made volunteering so special and so meaningful. I feel really lucky to have spent time working in such an amazing environment!
