Our Volunteers

The Pearl Ellis Gallery is a non-profit, community-driven art space operated entirely by volunteers. Guided by our mission to affirm the value of making art and support creative growth, our volunteers help create an inclusive, welcoming space that showcases local artists and connects our community through the arts.

We are grateful for our dedicated volunteer team and always welcome new people who wish to get involved. If you’re interested in volunteering, please speak with a gallery host during your visit or contact us.
