Our Mission Statement
The Friends of the Academy of Fine Arts is our vibrant volunteer support group which creates and produces fantastic fundraising events. Our Friends (in title and fact) serve as ambassadors within the community by promoting awareness of our many visual and performance events, as well as our education and outreach programs.
Volunteer
Share your interests or talents, or learn a new skill all while having fun and making friends. With your assistance, we can continue to offer classes, outreach programs, performances, exhibits and special events that make the Academy an exciting place to visit and work.
There’s no pressure; volunteering will suit your schedule. Anything from a one-time volunteering stint to several hours once a month, once a week or more is appreciated. A very special THANK YOU to all of our volunteers!
