VALA is seeking volunteer Art Stewards to help us with the daily operations of VALA. As a VALA Art Steward, you will have the opportunity to use your skills, connect with artists and the public while helping operate this very special community public art venue in Redmond. VALA is looking for volunteers who are passionate about art, enjoy interacting with the public, and feel committed to raising awareness about art in our community.
As an Art Steward you may:

  • Open and close the Art Center.

  • Greet guests as they arrive.

  • Distribute information about VALA and our programming.

  • Familiarize yourself with the artwork on display and direct visitors to artist contact information.
