The dedication of our volunteer staff help us to provide the services, programs, and professional studio we offer to the community. Your help is always welcome. You can help with our gallery openings, cleaning the studio, mailings, and other office projects. Contact us if you would like to volunteer.
Fundraisers
Each year the Ink Shop organizes special events, sends appeal letters, and requests donations large and small throughout the year, in order to maintain the programs we offer the community. Your support is absolutely critical to our success. We rely on you to help us continue bringing first-rate exhibits, hands-on workshops, fellowships, internships, school programs, and special lectures and demonstrations. Your continued help and support is deeply appreciated.
