Volunteers help in presenting the cultural programs and events through the department. Working with the Assistant Director for the Department, all aspects of operations are managed by volunteers through the three organizations responsible for most of the cultural events through the department: Pierro Gallery of South Orange, Arts in the Park and Friends of the Arts. The amount of time each month can usually be personalized to fit schedules

The Pierro Gallery of South Orange is a highly reputable fine art gallery presenting six openings per year plus a winter craft sale and other special events. Volunteers are voted onto the Executive and Exhibition Committee that is responsible for selecting and overseeing all operations. Volunteers are also needed to gallery assist during open hours, for hospitality, mailing lists, hanging exhibitions, special events and programs, graphic design, publicity, grant writing, fundraising etc.

Friends of the Arts is the fundraising support group for all cultural arts programs through the department. This group organizes, designs, plans events and distributes materials and information.

The amount of energy and involvement is up to the volunteer, but it’s guaranteed there are many opportunities to make an impact in the community and meet new and interesting people.
