Come and join us for our museum Volunteer Open House! The Center for Puppetry Arts opened a fantastic new museum featuring the Center's global collection and our new Jim Henson collection in November 2015. Since then our need for volunteers has vastly increased! Come to our volunteer open house, view the museum, learn about our new museum volunteer opportunities, sign up for volunteer orientation and learn how you can become involved at the largest non-profit dedicated to puppetry in the Unites States!
*This opportunity is to learn about volunteering at the Center it is not a specific volunteer event.
*All volunteers must attend an orientation and pass a background check before they can begin volunteering (no court ordered volunteers allowed)

Mission Statement
In 1978 Kermit the Frog accompanied by his creator, Jim Henson, cut the ribbon officially opening the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta. The Center was the vision of founder Vincent Anthony for a new arts institution in Atlanta - a magical place where art and education intersect to stimulate creativity and learning. Today the Center is the largest nonprofit in the U.S. dedicated to the art of puppetry. Widely regarded as a cultural treasure, the Center delights audiences of all ages with sophisticated, fully staged puppetry shows; museum exhibits putting puppetry into global, cultural and historical contexts; and arts infused education programs meeting state or national curriculum standards to enhance classroom learning in a unique way.
Description
Support the Center for Puppetry Arts with your time! A wide range of volunteer opportunities is available. We welcome anyone 16 YEARS OF AGE and up with a variety of skills and backgrounds.
