Signups for upcoming performances and events occur every month on 2nd Saturday.We know your time is valuable and ask for a minimum of two hours and no more then 6 hours. 2nd Saturday needs are Vendor Hospitality, Set up, Clean up, and Art/Craft Activity. Arts Center needs are Set up, Clean up, Activity planning and Paint Parties. Gallery Of The Arts needs are Gallery Change: Set up and Take down and Reception. We are also looking for people to serve on our commitees for FAC. Media needs are Social media, Web design, Graphic design, Photography and Video. We attempt to reward your volunteer activities at FAC with a nice volunteer appreciation party at the end of each season around April where we get to thank you personally. Additionally, we do not have any events planned in December and January. One of the best perks of being an FAC volunteer is knowing that you are an integral and active part of bringing quality performance art, entertainment, and educational outreach to your community. Without you and your continued support, we could not do what we do.
