Our small events naturally create community, and our team of volunteers is a vital part of creating that welcoming space for everyone who comes to an Abbey Arts event. Our volunteers are essential to the vision of Abbey Arts: that small shows benefit people by creating empathy, increasing human interactions and improving health. Your contributions can help connect more people with this vision!
