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 Winter Wonderland Windows.

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!

 

** Call for Artists **

The City of Oshawa is seeking artists to create festive window displays in businesses and vacant storefronts in downtown Oshawa from Nov to Jan 31.

  • Painting will occur between Nov 7 and 13, and the Oshawa Holiday Window Walk will debut at the Bright and Merry Market on Nov 14.

  • The displays will be all white, and the City will be providing the paint; artists will provide their own brushes and other tools.
