We have four events spread throughout the year — our Festivals (Youth Art Festival on March; Summer Family Arts Festival on July; Holiday Family Arts Festival on November), and our Annual Fundraiser. For events like these, we need volunteers who can help our teaching artists as they guide our guests, mostly children, make simple art; welcome visitors; take photos; or help make sales.

If you like the arts and want to share that enjoyment with families, this is the place for you! With our annual art festivals, we are always looking for people who are excited about talking to children and adults about art and creativity.

We offer guided tours of the Lake Mansion during Artown, and we have volunteers for this. A love of history and a welcoming personality are a must, and duties include greeting visitors to the Lake Mansion, as well as leading groups of children and adults on a Guided Tour. Training is provided.

In addition, a structure as old and large as the Lake Mansion requires many hands to keep up with maintenance and cleaning.  Unlike modern homes, the Lake Mansion’s unique, historic architecture will make you fall in love with maintaining and keeping the house in great condition.

Art classes and camps take place throughout the year and our teaching artists are always happy to have a helper. Aside from working with the kids or adults who sign up for the classes, you will get to learn from the teaching artist as you assist.

Aside from art classes, we also offer Weekly Wonders, our ongoing, 90-minute workshop for teens and adults with intellectual disabilities. We need volunteers who can be Teaching Artist Assistants to help guide our wonderful artists. Weekly Wonders workshops are held from 3:00 to 4:30pm in four different locations: Lake Mansion (Mondays), Larry D Johnson Community Center in Sparks (Thursdays), Makers Paradise at the Reno Public Market (Fridays), and Douglas County Senior Center in Gardnerville (Wednesdays).
