Sales Gallery - We need volunteers in our sales gallery every Tuesday through Friday from 10am - 4pm. Volunteer shifts can be as little as an hour or up to the whole six hours. Bring a friend, bring a laptop (we have wi-fi), your knitting, etc. and enjoy being surrounded by local art for the afternoon.

Photography - Got a knack for snapping great pics? We have several opportunities for you! If you like to photograph people, we need your help capturing the vibrancy and excitement at our events to help us tell our story. More interested in subjects that don't move? Show us your stuff as you show our artists' stuff! We're looking for a product photographer to capture the many angles and details of our artists' work for inclusion in our new online gift shop. 

Reception Help - We host exhibits almost monthly and are always looking for friendly people to help with greeting, handing out names tags, pouring wine, etc. These commitments are typically in the evenings from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm and shifts can be broken up into hour-long increments. 

Fundraising - Whether you like to help with grand events or small bake-sale-sized fundraisers, the Crossings would welcome your help. In order to continue to bring arts programming to the Central Lakes area, we need some much-needed financial support. Every penny helps. If you have a passion for making that happen, contact us today. 

Marketing & Communications - This committee is in need of enthusiastic new members to help us further engage our community. Maybe you would like to do some graphic design work, or increase our presence on social media? Want to showcase your writing abilities or just work with a group who is eager to let their community know about the good work that TCAA does? Contact us!

Membership - What motivates people to join TCAA? What motivates them to continue to be members, year after year? Our Membership committee works to answer those questions. They attend events around the area to introduce people to the important work TCAA does and encourages them to take part. Like chatting with new people! This might be the committee for you. 

Receptions - Making name tags, taking in registration money, making change, greeting people, and pouring beverages. 

Classes/Workshops - If you have skills you'd like to share with others, contact us about teaching a workshop. 

Office Help - Answering the phone, stuffing envelopes and applying labels and stamps for mailings, and simple filing. 

Staffing Booths - If you enjoy talking to people about positive aspects of The Crossing Arts Alliance, this volunteer category might be perfect for your. Examples are helping staff the booth at Arts in the Park or taking registrations at the Picturing Workshop. 

Sales Gallery - Encourage customers to browse and buy, run a cash register and credit card machine, write receipts, and balance out the till. If you are comfortable handling money, counting, making change, and have a pleasant demeanor, consider this category. 

Exhibits - Volunteering at exhibits is a relaxing way to spend a few hours. Greet people when they come to view art, represent The Crossing Arts Alliance, and listen to soothing background music in a pleasant environment. 

Distributing Posters or Brochures - Picking up promotional material, driving, and dropping it off at predetermined locations. 

Photography - Taking photos for various articles to be published, at events, or to document exhibitions is a great way to volunteer for those who enjoy photography.

Clean Up - Helping vacuum or sweep, collecting and bagging up refuse after receptions, and wiping tables and chairs is a good category for volunteers who prefer not to be in public.
