Volunteers wanted to help bring local art to life

April 13, 2026

With a fresh new look and an inspiring exhibition on the horizon, the Raglan Arts Centre Gallery is calling for volunteers to help keep its doors open.

New volunteer arts coordinator Ruth Hickman-Goodall says the first exhibition, My Dream Is Hope, running from 18–27 April, sets an uplifting tone – showcasing the dreams and creativity of artists of all ages.

“This exhibition is about focusing on something hopeful and inspiring, celebrating community spirit, and our volunteers are at the heart of bringing it to life.”

Recently renovated, the gallery is ready to re-establish itself as a vibrant hub for local creativity, with volunteers playing a key role in making that happen.

“Volunteers are the backbone of our community,” she says. “You don’t need experience – just an appreciation of art and a willingness to support our local arts scene.”

If you’ve got a few hours to spare and want to be part of something creative and community-focused, contact Ruth at                                                 thegallery@raglanartscentre.co.nz
