Volunteer with Us

We can’t serve the community without the support of engaged volunteers like you!

The Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge hosts multiple large scale events throughout the year that depend on the generous time and effort of the community to help make them successes. Please see below for volunteer opportunities and regularly check back as the year progresses for new or recurring events.

Grant Panelist

The Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge annually assembles a grant panel to review the Louisiana Project Grants in the summer (actual panel date TBD). Panelists must reside within the 10-parish service area of the Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge. If you are interested in serving as a panelist, please fill out the application linked below.
