Donations

ARTSPLACE offers several ways to donate when purchasing a membership.  For $100 you can be a supporting member and receive the balance after membership ($35 or $50) as a tax receipt.  There is also an opportunity to purchase a Lifetime ($1000) membership.  We base this on 10 years’ membership at the current rate (for example, $350 for an individual) and the remainder (here, $650) is eligible for a tax receipt. 

​We also encourage you to consider the Arts Council in your estate plans.

We can accept donations of securites. If you wish to discuss your plans with us, please call 902-532-7069 or email arcacartsplace@gmail.com

We have targeted funding streams that you may choose to donate to - General Operating & Programs / Scholarship & Youth / Film / Endowment.

Volunteer Opportunities

You do not need to be a member to volunteer, only if you wish to join a committee or the Board.

​To be eligible to join the Board, you would need to be a member for at least one year.

As we all know, volunteers are the driving force behind any successful community organisation, and ARCAC is no exception. People often have specific areas where they would feel comfortable offering a bit of their time. Volunteers will be contacted on an as needed basis. Let us know if you would like to help out, and which areas interest you, by completing the contact form below. 
Some examples would be:

• Gallery Sitting: 3 hours on a Saturday 11 am - 2 pm (meet & greet visitors, answer queries, take messages, take payments for memberships and art sales)
• Receptions & Openings: We are in need of help with the set up and tidy of our events including food preparation, drinks, greeting visitors
• Yard work and building maintenance
• Promotions & PR: distributing mailings, flyers and posters
• Office work (filing/archiving)
• Paint the Town fundraising weekend
