From painters, printmakers, sculptors and textile artists to photographers and ceramicists, Downtown Art Center has some of the most talented, creative volunteers around. This show is to celebrate them, not only for their contributions to the gallery (DAC literally couldn’t run without our volunteers) but as artists too! This exhibition showcases the work of DAC volunteers, many of whom belong to other local arts organizations as well. To find out how to become one of our volunteers, email volunteer@downtownarthi.org!
