Volunteers Needed
Numerous volunteers are needed October through January for Artistry, the Guilford Art Center's annual holiday sale of fine craft and art.  Be the first to see the exciting things sent in for Artistry as you unpack boxes and tag items.  Perhaps you have an artistic flair for arranging merchandise or would like to help us host receptions and events.  Volunteers are also needed to assist customers and to restock and keep merchandise tidy.  Once the holidays are over, unsold items need to be carefully packaged and returned to artists.
