Previous volunteer roles
Affordable Art Fair Volunteers
Paintings in Hospitals was the chosen charity partner for the Affordable Art Fairs’ 25th Anniversary, held in Battersea Park. The Affordable Art Fair aims to make contemporary art affordable and accessible to all. For this event, volunteers assisted in our showcase of artworks and oversaw a hands-on workshop with the renowned contemporary artist Sue Arrowsmith. Volunteers gained experience with artwork installation and promoted our charity by providing a friendly face for the fair’s attendees.
