The Red Poppy Art House is primarily an artist and volunteer-run organization, and there are many ways to get involved. Volunteers play an integral role in our everyday operations.

While we’re open to hearing in what way you as a unique individual could gift your skills, we do also have a need to fill the following volunteer positions on an ongoing basis:

Performance Series Volunteers

For each performance at the Red Poppy Art House, of which we have approximately 140 annually, we have one “anchor” staff member as well as two volunteers. They are:

1) Door person – welcomes guests and handles admissions/ticket sales at the door
2) Counter person – serves beverages for a suggested donation

**Both positions assist with the general set-up and break-down of the event
**Events occur Thursday through Sunday every week

Read more about our Performance Program here.

Family Art Program Volunteers

Like working with kids and being outside? Love arts and crafts and education? Saturday Family Art Activities utilize the exterior south wall of the Art House and its wide adjacent sidewalk.

Family Art Volunteers bring out an array of furniture and art supplies, and organize a different activity for participants each week. Some of the volunteers help to organize the different activities for participants each week.

**Saturdays, 1pm-4pm

Concessions Runner

If you enjoy getting out to the grocery store, particularly on someone else’s dime, this could be the role for you! Volunteers help us to go on errands to stock-up on concessions for performances and our events each week.

**Access to a vehicle is preferred but not a definite requirement for this role.

Exhibitions

Want to get some experience with gallery installation or exhibition design? Have a knack for writing? The Exhibitions program has a variety of needs that you could help satisfy!

**Scheduled as needed

Around the Red Poppy there is always something that needs doing — we’d love to hear about your skills and reach out to you for help!
