Other Volunteer Opportunites
If you are an experienced artist or business professional with a love for the arts and are hoping to join a board of directors, send a cover letter expressing your passion and particular arts genre(s) of interest along with your CV to the Volunteer Coordinator at mail@torontoarts.org and we’ll pass your information along to suitable organizations.
Additionally, if you are interested in contributing administration skills or graphic design skills to the Toronto Arts Foundation and the Toronto Arts Council, email our Volunteer Coordinator at mail@torontoarts.org. We often have a couple positions each year.
