Tabling at Markets & Community Events
Represent Offroute at local markets, festivals, and community gatherings. Volunteers help share our mission, engage with visitors, distribute materials, and create welcoming entry points for new artists and supporters. These are great one-off opportunity for someone who enjoys connecting with people or friends/family looking to do something together.
Exhibition & Artwork Photography
Help us document exhibitions, events, and individual artworks. Photographers support artists by creating high-quality images for social media, portfolios, archives, and promotion. This role is flexible and often project-based.
Digital Archive Project
Support the preservation and organization of Offroute’s growing digital archive. Volunteers assist with helping us create a timeline, organizing images, and helping build accessible records of our programming and artists. Ideal for detail-oriented folks who care about documentation and legacy.
Local Business Coordinator
We are always looking for local businesses to display art. Businesses donate wall space to Offroute and we will curate (with as much or as little input as the business wants to give!) and we will curate and rotate the art every 6-8 weeks. If you frequent lots of local businesses across the city and have the capacity to ask if they are interested in displaying Offroute art, this could be a fun way to volunteer for us!
If you are interested in volunteering, please email offrouteart@gmail.com with "Volunteer" in the subject line. Please briefly let us know a little bit about who you are, where you live, what volunteer position(s) you are interested in, and why you want to volunteer for Offroute.
Donate
Offroute gratefully accepts donations of any size. Your contribution directly advances our mission to support artists and foster community-centered creative work.
Your donation helps fund:
1. Artist Support
We cover all costs associated with presenting and selling artwork—such as framing, installation materials, and processing fees—so artists retain 100% of their sales. When possible, we also contract artists for project-based work.
2. Fellowship Programs
Twice annually, we offer a fellowship and corresponding gallery exhibition for a select group of artists. Each fellow receives a $500 stipend, and we fund all program, exhibition, and supply expenses.
3. Exhibitions & Events
In addition to Offroute’s in-business displays, we host 1–4 gallery exhibitions each year, providing artists with access to professionally curated spaces and new audiences.
