Artsbridge Board of Trustees

I've been invited to join the Board of Trustees at Artsbridge, the premier arts organization in the Lambertville / New Hope area. I was honored when the president, Ty Hodanish, asked me to join, but I have to admit that I also had some reservations. Being on the board of a non-profit organization basically means that you're volunteering your time to help run the thing. My main concern was how much time it would involve. Being a member of 2 co-op art galleries already takes up a fair amount of my time but there's a lot of good that I get back from being in those co-ops. So what would the return be for being on the Board? I'm sure it will be interesting to see how an organization like this works. They put on 1 big juried show every year plus some smaller shows. Some of the other board members are artists who I really admire, and maybe working with them will be as rewarding as I've found the co-ops to be. So I've joined the Board and I'm sure it'll be an interesting experience.
