Orcas Center Membership is a pledge of support the intangible ideals of our mission. It is a commitment, a leaning in towards our shared belief that art is not an elective, or a hobby, but is as essential to our community as the air we breathe. There are two ways you can be an Orcas Center member: you can make an annual recurring donation, or donate your time as a volunteer. Both donations and volunteering are essential to the success of Orcas Center.
Volunteering at a community arts center offers a vibrant and rewarding way to support local creativity while developing valuable skills and connections. Whether you’re passionate about the performing arts, visual arts, or simply enjoy engaging with your community, there are a variety of roles to match your interests and strengths. Volunteers play a vital role in helping the arts center thrive, ensuring that programs, performances, and exhibitions run smoothly and continue to inspire audiences of all ages.
Orcas Center stands here today because of the vision and dedication of a group of people who came together 50 years ago with a dream. A dream, not just of erecting a building, but to build a place where future generations of dreamers could come together and enact their visions and dedication. And that dream is alive and well today due to the support of countless people like you who believe that coming together and realizing visions is at the core of what it means to be alive.
