Volunteer Opportunites

Help Lawndale Art Center by volunteering during this year’s annual Big Show. The Big Show provides an important venue through which emerging and under-represented Houston area artists gain exposure. Hundreds of local artists will submit work for consideration in this year’s exhibition – and we need your help! Lawndale will need assistance from volunteers with everything from the installation of the art to the hosting of the preview party and opening receptions. Please choose from the volunteer opportunities and times from the list below. We look forward to working with you during this exciting annual event!
