*** The Bermuda Society of Arts is looking for volunteers to help in various positions in the gallery.
There is always a need for people to assist with hangings, lighting, bar and food for shows and people to help as gallery attendants.
If you are free for even one morning per month the gallery could use your help.
The gallery is also looking for a Website creator who can set up a Bermuda Society of Arts Website and help to maintain it. Volunteers are also needed during the day, once a month, to help fold, label, and mail artifacts.
And now that the Coffee House is up and running, volunteers are needed to keep it going.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer in any of these areas call the Bermuda Society of Arts.
