volunteer at the art room
The Art Room’s success depends on its mental health, artist, and general volunteers who ensure that each participant is supported in their creative experience. We also hope that our volunteers have a positive creative experience of their own working in The Art Room. We truly believe you will receive as much as you give. Please contact us by phone (940-566-5802) or email (info@theartroomdenton.org), or fill out the Mental Health Professional form, Artist form, or General Volunteer form below if you are interested in volunteering. You can always make a financial donation as well!
Before volunteering, here’s an idea of what you can expect from us and what we expect of you:
You’ll have lots of fun!
You’ll experience the same benefits as members when engaging in the creative process (including observing other’s creative process.)
After filling out one of the forms below, you’ll be contacted to set up an orientation, which is required before you can sign up to volunteer.
We expect anyone who volunteers to volunteer at least once a month, for at least three months.
We will communicate with you about all our activities and opportunities, and we want you to communicate with us regularly about your plans and availability.

Mental Health Professionals
You are welcome to apply as a mental health professional if you have any background in the mental health field - specifically if you have worked in a mental health setting - or if you’re licensed as a mental health professional, or if you’re a student studying in a mental health concentration. You do not need to have any art experience or background to apply.
Artists
You are welcome to apply as an artist if you have any background in art specifically as an artist, an art educator, a student studying art or art education, or as a therapist who has used art as a therapeutic tool. You do not need to have experience working with individuals who have a mental health problem to apply.
General Volunteer
Even if you are not an artist or mental health professional, we would love to have you as a volunteer in The Art Room. There are many ways to contribute your time and energy, whether serving on a committee or working on a special project, your talents and contributions are welcomed. Please fill out the General Volunteer form below.
