Why are we doing the Get Involved Arts Initiative:
The St. Helena Public Library has identified "The Arts" as a key means of engaging people. Our library is known as a place of social activity and is developing a reputation as an outlet for artistic expression and discovery. We plan to capitalize on this status by using volunteers to develop and provide programs for children, teens and adults that will introduce new ways for all to engage with each other, explore their own artistic skills through creative expression, and expand their knowledge of art culture and history.
To stay relevant to our times, the library is looking for new ways to serve the community. There are people in St. Helena and Napa Valley with very unique skills and abilities that share our vision of the library as a place of community engagement and a cultural hub. We hope to profit from these individuals by including them in our efforts to be innovative in fulfilling future community needs, attracting new users to the library and meeting the needs of the underserved.
How it works:
We are looking for volunteers who share our vision of a community that embraces the arts. We need volunteers to help us develop, create, implement and evaluate programs for all ages. This is a new way of using volunteers that empowers them to direct their own work. Volunteers bring us the ideas and we collaborate with them by providing them the tools and the authority to execute their own vision. Using volunteers the library will create connections and networks in our community through the arts, for the arts, and of the arts. This will allow the library the opportunity to expand and build on existing services and resources by providing new ways for people to network, get involved, experience the arts, and be art practitioners without personal expense. Everybody in the community can participate whether they are artistic or not they can get involved. There are many levels and many roles to this ongoing vision.
How you can help:
Get the word out. Talk about it. Refer people, particularly artists, Contact us for more information.
