We are in need of a volunteers to help run an activity station during an arts event. This upcoming Third Friday, Liberty Arts is hosting a Beach Party in January, complete with several arts workshops, an aluminum pour, food & drink, and music!
Along with more complex and involved activities, we have a simpler activity station that we need volunteers to help manage. The activity will be making mini sand terrariums in jars/glasses. Volunteers will be needed to instruct any folks that walk up and would like to participate in the activity. Visit our website here to learn more about the activity:

THIRD FRIDAY DURHAM ART WALK & GALLERY CRAWL
Liberty Arts Beach Party in January
Friday, January 17, 6 - 9 PM
Durham Central Park
Join Liberty Arts for a night of heat, sand, surf rock and art in Durham Central Park! Ward off January’s chill with beach vibe beverages at The Glass Jug, 545 Foster St. Get cozy under heat lamps on the taproom front porch overlooking the park. There, we’ll explore art-making workshops that incorporate sand. Across the street at the Liberty Arts Foundry, engage with pourmasters Mike Waller and Tripp Jarvis and glassblowing instructor Leigh Hayes in an Artist Talkback. Learn how common, ubiquitous sand is the force behind such amazing industrial arts as glassblowing and metalwork. Then watch artists pour molten aluminum in the Foundry. All evening, groove to live vintage instrumental music by Thee Swelltones. Pair your beverage from Glass Jug with bites from the Locals Seafood food truck. Surf’s up!
