Art in the Burbs
Art in the Burbs is coming up on October 12th & 13th, at Tualatin High School, and we need your help! This two-day event is run by volunteers and 20% of the sales will go back to support art programs in all 15 schools in our district! Every year, money from this event helps bring new art experiences to our schools and enhance existing ones.
All we need is a few hours of your time! Please consider signing up for a shift or maybe two! Your help will make a difference, and will make this event a successful one!
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to email volunteer@artintheburbs.org
