We’re looking for a volunteer with building, carpentry, or construction skills to build storage to hold artwork for ArtJam and for general usage. ArtJam is HomeFront’s annual pop-up gallery in Palmer’s Square, Princeton that supports HomeFront’s ArtSpace program. Daytime availability is preferred. You can click "I want to help" or email catherinec@homefrontnj.org if you’re interested!
The beginnings of this project will start now, and ramp up further as we hit June and the summer, with ArtJam taking place in October. We would like a volunteer to begin learning about and planning for the art storage now, while remaining socially distant and safe during this pandemic. The volunteer in this role would be around only 1-2 other people, socially distant, and in our outdoor blue garage, away from other people. Much of the beginning planning stages can happen off-site after an introduction to the space and project.
