Fine Art Market volunteers at the July meeting.

When visitors attend the Winnsboro Fine Art Market in November, they probably won’t be aware of all the hard work that has gone on behind the scenes.  All that work is being done by a group of dedicated volunteers; some who are working on key projects before the Art Market opens and some who will help for a few hours during the event.

There are still many opportunities to get involved in this behind-the-scenes work.  Do you have special talents or interests?  Put them to use as a volunteer.

All volunteers receive Art Market T-shirts, a pass to the VIP Hospitality Room during the Art Market, an invitation to the wrap-up party, and recognition for their service

If you’d like to be part of the action, a meeting of volunteers will be held Saturday, September 10th at 11:00 a.m. in the conference room at the First National Bank, 315 North Main Street, Winnsboro, Texas. Lunch will be served.
