Volunteer Opportunities

Our signature events include a juried art exhibitions, seasonal art festivals, and active participation in community arts initiatives. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting your creative journey, we invite you to connect, learn, and grow with us. Of course, we need your help to make it all happen. Volunteering is a great opportunity to learn and be a part of a passionate artistic community.

 

NEW Events Committee

The Oshawa Art Association is busier than ever—hosting Paint Battles, partnering with the City for festivals like Oshawa Convergence, and preparing for upcoming projects such as the Oshawa Holiday Window Walk.

To keep the momentum going, we’re forming a new Events Committee!

This committee will work with our Events Coordinator to plan, organize, and support OAA events throughout the year. Whether you love brainstorming creative ideas, coordinating logistics, or pitching in on event days, this is a great way to be part of the excitement and help bring art to our community.

Interested in joining or learning more?

Speak to Deb at the next members’ meeting or drop us a line at oshawa.art.association@gmail.com.

Let’s make OAA’s events even more vibrant—together!

Spring Art Festival

Volunteer With Us at the Spring Art Festival!

It's that time of year again! From Saturday, May 2 to Sunday, May 3, the OAA will be hosting our Spring Art Festival, and would be thrilled to have you join us. Our festivals are made possible by volunteers. If you are able to help with sign placement, set-up, take-down, or sharing promotional materials, your support would be greatly appreciated. If you are not registering for the show, Saturday and Sunday, we are looking for volunteers to cover the following shifts:

  • Half Day (AM): 9:00 AM - 1:30 PM

  • Half Day (PM): 1:30 PM - 5:30 PM

  • Full Day: 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM

Whether you can spare a few hours or the whole day, your help would make a big difference in creating a fun and welcoming experience for our artists and visitors.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or concerns. We'd love to have you be part of this celebration of local art!

Contact our volunteer coordinator Julia for details juliamariacivello@gmail.com
