Marketing Team Leader – Are you a marketing professional looking to use your skills to volunteer for a meaningful cause? We are currently looking for a strategic leader to guide the dedicated team of AFAF volunteers who work to elevate our mission, increase attendance and engage with the community. If you have a knack for strategy and a heart for the arts, this is your chance to make a difference!
Art Lines Newsletter Editor – Please consider becoming our Art Lines guru – an important part of our presence in the community! As Ann-Marie Bracken steps down after her long and successful tenure creating our hardcopy newsletter, we need one of our members to take on this responsibility. The newsletter is issued monthly, and assembling the information and pictures for the newsletter takes place during the last week of the month, so that it can be produced and taken to the printers at the beginning of the following month. Anne-Marie will be available to share her expertise with the new editor, and to answer with any questions you may have about the process or the time commitment required.
Please email your interest and availability to

AFAF Member FAQ’s
What are “Art in Action” Demonstrations?
Thanks to the efforts of Barbara Wagner, visitors can enjoy live “Art in Action” demonstrations each 2nd Saturday before the start of our monthly receptions! Demos, which are free and open to the public, start at 1:00 pm.
If you’d like to present your own demo or can suggest someone from your creative circle, please reach out to Program Coordinator Barbara Wagner. Funds are available to reimburse presenters for their time and materials.
Barbara would love to hear your ideas and suggestions for desired topics. Email her at antiochfineartsfoundation@gmail.com with subject line Demo Ideas!
Am I able to teach an art class at the Gallery?
Yes, AFAF members in good standing are welcome to use the Antioch Art Center as the venue for their own art classes! You can also recommend non-members who have art education experience and adventures to share. Youth art teachers must hold appropriate certification. For details contact Cynthia Trombino, AFAF Education Coordinator at antiochfineartsfoundation@gmail.com with subject line Teaching an Art Class.
What have you been working on?
Join us at 9:30 am on the third Wednesday of each month for Creative Coffee, an informal morning gathering to chat about art, discuss works in progress and share creative inspiration. Mary Norvell and Larry Lemm are your hosts, and they make a great cup of coffee!
Why do we fill out the same information twice on the show tags attached to artwork brought in for display?
Half of the tag stays with your artwork while the other half is torn off and used to create your price tag label. Both halves are matched up when the art is hung!
