Atlantic Center for the Arts has a very active and involved ‘league’ of volunteers consisting of over 150 members that come from a variety of diverse backgrounds which contribute to a wide range of organizational and programming needs. These volunteers are the backbone of the organization providing ‘hands on’ assistance, financial support, and community awareness which is vital to our Mission. Members now provide over 10,000 hours annually which has increased substantially since its official founding in 1991. The ACA League’s main focus is to provide financial assistance to children’s art programs at ACA’s Community Art Center, Harris House, and is committed to furthering the growth of the arts in the community. They also actively support two major fundraising events, IMAGES: A Festival of the Arts and Horsin’ Around, provide assistance with Community Outreach projects, and run their own creative fundraisers throughout the year.
Membership dues are $25 per year and volunteers are required to contribute a minimum of 36 hours per year. Hours are recorded in the Volunteer Hours book at the ACA Main Campus or downtown location. Total hours are tallied in December and awards are presented annually in January or February to volunteers that have performed ‘above and beyond’ during the previous year. The ACA League offers unique experiences in Community Art Education & Outreach, rewarding interaction with the communities’ youth, fundraising opportunities, friendship…and FUN!
