Shift Times:

  • Daily 10 am - 2 pm
  • Daily 2 - 6 pm
  • Thursdays 6 - 9 pm
    Volunteers Needed: 15-20
Since 2006, nearly half a million people from across the U.S. have contributed to the Fundred Dollar Bill Project. We're bringing it to the Torpedo Factory Art Center and we need your to help make it a success. Created by artist Mel Chin, the Fundred Dollar Bill Project is a creative currency to demonstrate how much we value the lives of children and a future free of lead poisoning.

Volunteers are needed to work all available shifts and are encouraged to sign-up for more than one. Help visitors draw their own Fundred Dollar Bills. Artworks created in the New Project Studio will be displayed on the wall in the space then added to the Fundred Dollar Bill Project's ongoing reserve. Contact us to start today!
