Gift Shop
Special events at the Dublin Arts Center, like December’s Noël Night or ARTpancakes, our annual pancake breakfast, often require additional help in the Dublin Arts Council Gift Shop. If you’re a shopaholic, this is the volunteer job for you! The shop features work by local artists, artistic toys and games for kids, and unique gifts that make for truly inspired gift-giving! Our shop volunteers help stock and display merchandise, box and bag, and transact sales.

Events & Festivals
If you enjoy working in a fun atmosphere and meeting new people, then volunteering at a Dublin Arts Council event or festival is right for you! Dublin Arts Council offers some fantastic events and festivals for you to get involved with throughout the calendar year. Volunteers at these events staff our information booths, conduct surveys, lead hands on demonstrations, and assist in our children’s activity areas.

Event & Festival Preparation
If you like working at your own pace behind the scenes, then why not sign up for an event or festival preparation project? Our Education Director is constantly coming up with new, exciting ways to engage both children and adults. Dublin Arts Council always needs volunteers to distribute posters, cut, paste, press, and copy!
