Plein Air Painters' U.S. Open

Volunteers are needed to help host the Annual September Plein Air Painters’ U.S. Open. Artists from all around the country come to Coupeville to paint plein air images of our beautiful vistas, quaint towns, serene landscapes, and the Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve. Your help is needed to make this fund-raising event a great success. Jobs include artists’ check-in and hospitality room, ticket sales, general office help, Gala set-up/clean-up, Gala staffing, and Show support.

 

 

In and Around the Office

The greatest need occurs Monday through Friday. You may volunteer on a defined schedule (a couple of hours, a half day, even a full day) or be an “on-call” person. Jobs include general secretarial, as well as tasks utilizing special skills such as Excel, artistic bulletin board design, and even gardening!

 

Special Events

Events include Open House, Art-Mart Garage Sale, and Decking The Halls Christmas Event.

 

Class Assistants

For workshops of three days or more, the Class Assistants are the liaison between the staff, instructors, and students. The Class Assistants make sure that the students are properly checked in and all the paperwork for the class is completed. They also handle refreshments, lunch orders, and questions about the Coupeville area. In return for their efforts, the class assistants enjoy the workshop without paying tuition.

 

Special Events

Help is needed for all of our Special Events (Annual Members’ Meeting and Open House, Art-Mart Garage Sale, Coupeville Arts and Crafts Festival Gallery and Wine Tasting, and the annual “Decking the Halls” Christmas Gala). Jobs include set-up/clean-up, gallery support, garage sales, ticket sales, Gala and Wine Tasting staffing, and many other exciting tasks.
