AFAF VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Antioch Fine Arts Foundation is a good example of a successful organization which is completely run by volunteers. In a relatively short time, AFAF has become an asset to the community. Being involved with AFAF is an enriching experience, and lifetime friendships have been formed here.

AFAF is always in need of volunteers to:

• Man the gallery during normal hours and/or rehang the gallery (monthly schedule).
  Please contact Judy Chinski and/or Bernita Schutte, or call the Gallery (847) 838-2274 if you can help.
