Volunteer Engagement in the Arts

Join us for a discussion about the thousands of individuals who work as volunteers in the nonprofit arts community. It’s difficult to imagine many of our arts organizations surviving without the teachers, docents, box office personnel, directors, designers, and board members who give so generously of their time and expertise. Hear from Meg Friedman, an expert in this area, about who they are and what motivates these individuals to volunteer in the arts.

Meg Friedman, M.A.A.A. ’18 will lead the discussion and answer questions from the webinar’s audience.

Ramona Baker, director of the M.A.A.A. program, will answer questions about the program, the application process, scholarships, and schedules.
