Volunteer: Light Up GO ART!, An Artist Ornament SeriesLight Up GO ART! is an artist-focused volunteer project for students who are confident in their creative abilities and interested in contributing meaningful, high-quality work. Participants will create original ornaments using repurposed lightbulbs, designing pieces that reflect themes connected to GO ART!’s programming and community impact, including cultural celebrations such as Juneteenth, Día de los Muertos, Pride, and winter traditions, as well as broader expressions of identity, storytelling, and the arts. This is not a casual craft activity. Artists are expected to approach their work with intention, skill, and attention to detail. Each ornament will be part of a curated collection, displayed throughout GO ART!’s space and offered for sale as part of our fundraising efforts. Proceeds from ornament sales directly support the sustainability of GO ART!, helping to maintain and power the more than 200 lightbulbs that illuminate our historic building and galleries. Through this project, each artist’s work quite literally helps keep the lights on for arts and culture in our community. Agency: GO ART!
