become a volunteer
We need your help! Become a volunteer at FRAA and be a part of the Florence art scene in the community.
While we have a variety of tasks to which you can help us, our immediate need is help in the Art Center during open hours to greet customers, process sales, and share the love of art with others that live in and visit Florence.
You do not need to be an artist just someone who loves art and wants to help promote art in Florence and hence help the Florence business community.
Please email fraaoregon@gmail.com if you are interested in volunteering.
BECOME A BOARD MEMBER

The FRAA’s board role is to steer the ship of FRAA establishing our vision, goals and objectives as we move into the future. While you do need to have a passion for the arts, you do not need to be an artist.
Your tasks are to govern and oversee the organization’s operations, serve on one more board commitees, attend monthly meetings, assist with fundraising, ensure sound fiscal management of the organization and promote and attend programs and events.
