Volunteering

Volunteer with ArtWorks for a one-off event or on a regular basis in one of our assisted studios. It's a really rewarding way to build up your CV, get involved in delivering workshops and exhibitions, and meet people.

What Our Volunteers Do

Support the artists

Creative support volunteers play a valuable role in our studios. You will be helping to plan and deliver workshops, preparing art materials, and supporting the artists in practical ways as they develop their practice. We will coach and support you to facilitate accessible and imaginative workshops.

Photography/Videography

Can you help us to capture and share the playful side of life at ArtWorks? From individual case studies, to group art projects; video vox pops at our events to documenting volunteer placements - we want to communicate ArtWorks professionally using photography and video.

Curate Exhibitions

Can you share your skills to help ArtWorks install high quality exhibitions that shift perceptions about disabled arts and artists?
ArtWorks produce exhibitions throughout the year in venues across South Yorkshire. We'd love your help to transform empty spaces into unforgettable experiences.

"Volunteering with ArtWorks Together International Festival was such a joy, I feel so privalaged to have been part of the launch event meeting artists from all over the world and celebrate their achievements. I wish every day could be like this."

- Ryan Dean
