Volunteer Program
Gallery One’s volunteer program offers a variety of opportunities. You don’t have to be an expert to become a valued member of Gallery One’s team. Because we are a nonprofit gallery, we rely on dozens of volunteers a year to help sustain the gallery in a multitude of ways.

TAAP Program (Teen Artist Apprenticeship Program)
TAAP was created in order to provide a connection between working artists, gallery assistants, gallery retail, museum assistants, etc. and teens looking for volunteer opportunities in a field that they are interested in while gaining valuable skills. Over a 10 week session, teens can develop professional, organizational and tech skills. They will learn all the prep work needed to support artists and positions within our arts and culture community.
