Other ways to volunteer

Helping host a paint-out is a simple and rewarding way to be involved.

As a host, you would:

• Choose or suggest a location

• Contact the property owner if needed (a quick email is usually enough)

• Welcome the group when they arrive

After the event:

• Take a group photo

• Share a short “wrap-up” post in the Facebook group (this can easily be done from your phone)

👉 Most members enjoy hosting about once a year—it’s a great way to contribute and connect.

We gather a few times each year to plan our Spring and Fall painting seasons.

• Meetings are typically held in March and July

• All members should try to attend and contribute their great ideas

If you’re unable to attend, you’re still welcome to:

• Suggest locations

• Offer to host a future event

👉 These are friendly, informal gatherings—everyone’s ideas are welcome.

Sometimes we pair planning with a fun activity—like a watercolor swatch day!

If you enjoy being a bit more involved, there are many small ways to help the group run smoothly.

You can choose what fits your interests and availability.
