Pop-Up Art Leaders
We’re looking for volunteers to help lead Milford Makes pop-up art events. Working with you and your reuse workshop idea, we gather the materials and find the space, and you guide the activity. If you enjoy making art with others and creating a friendly, inclusive vibe, we’d love to hear from you.
