Volunteer at RAI
Make a Lasting Impact
For over 90 years, the Ridgewood Art Institute has provided a welcoming community to artists and art lovers in and around northeastern NJ.
From Board members to gallery sitters and everyone in between, we value the support of all our volunteers in continuing our commitment to art appreciation, education, and exhibitions.
Please contact us if you are interested in any of the open roles or if there is an area or skill you’d like to contribute.
