Art Avenue - Mail Out Team

The Federation of Canadian Artist's publication 'Art Avenue' is popular across the world! Mailing out is a huge task, but has also become something of a team sport for volunteers at the FCA! In this role you'll be working as a team to label and fill envelopes with copies of Art Avenue, while chatting with the team and enjoying light refreshments at our gallery location on Granville Island. 

FCA Ambassador

Shifts run from 10 AM - 1 PM or 1PM - 4 PM

Monday - Tuesday.
