Would you like to get involved in a magical and creative space, discover and meet artists, and learn about art and culture? We’d love to have you join our volunteer team!

Volunteers will be asked to perform various tasks such as: Greeting guests at evening events, serving welcome cocktails, directing guests, assisting with bar service, putting up promotional posters in strategic locations, cleaning, and setting up spaces.

If you have a knack for gardening, we have gardens that need tending!
If you have a talent for painting, we have spaces that need a little TLC!

All of this takes place in a magical, historic, evolving, creative, and welcoming space.

As part of a community project, a microgreen harvest is being organized in Sutton and Abercorn during the first two weeks of May. The project was presented on April 10th with Solidarité Environnement Sutton (SES). The harvest will be made into lemonade, sold in cans (COMONT), with proceeds going towards rehabilitating sites infested with invasive alien species. You will be assigned a site. Buckets, pruning shears, and bags will be provided. In return, you will receive coordination support, information sharing, and cans of lemonade.

We’re looking for people to help fill administrative, sales and maintenance needs.

There are a wide range of regular and ad hoc tasks in which a volunteer can take part: loan counter, cataloguing, pruning, exchanging, covering and repairing books, selling books, interlibrary loans, reading the shelves, taking part in committees, taking part in various activities, buying French and English books and comics, among others.

For Arts Sutton, it’s a question of building a core of committed people capable of welcoming the public, ensuring the smooth running of activities and raising the organization’s profile in the community.

Reception and information: people able to welcome visitors, answer basic questions, guide the public through exhibitions and activities.

Event support: people capable of helping with set-up, light logistics, supervising entrances or accompanying guests.
or
Administrative or communication support: people capable of making a one-off contribution to tasks such as disseminating information or helping to prepare materials.
