Spark Joy Volunteers
Volunteer your time creatively—Spark Joy with us!
Become a Spark Joy! volunteer and help create inclusive, engaging art experiences for the community. Starting in June 2025, gather at the gallery for just 2 hours a week to socialize, learn about art, and make a difference. You'll receive training and support through workshops and senior-led sessions, and contribute to exciting projects like art appreciation videos, take-home kits for the ASCK day programs in Wallaceburg and Chatham, and a new 6-week in-person art series on Learning to Lead an Art Class.
This year, we’re partnering with the Alzheimer’s Society of Chatham-Kent and the local Boys and Girls Club to explore digital drawing and creative tech together.
Learn more at our welcome event on June 3, from 1:00 – 3:00 PM!
