Volunteer Opportunities
Watercolors with Todd Zalewski
In this 6-week class, you will learn about the various techniques of watercolor painting, different materials used in painting, the importance of sketching prior to painting, and how to set up a studio. During the class Todd will demonstrate the following techniques: dry-brush, wet on wet, gouache on toned paper, and the use of masking fluid/tape as paint restrictor. Subject matter considerations will also be discussed.
Marblehead Poets Group
Marblehead Poets is a collective open to writers in any genre that meets once per month at the MAA on Sundays to discuss writing practices, share work, and provide critical feedback. Participants are encouraged (but not required) to bring copies of works in progress to share with the group.
Bash Reimagined
We believe art helps us make sense of the world, bring people together, and imagine new possibilities. In a moment when many young people and families are navigating uncertainty and change, RAW is choosing to gather in ways that center creativity, connection, and belonging.

Arts Fest will return on Saturday, 6/20/26 from 10am–5pm (one hour longer than previous years)!

Wheel Throwing Pottery Workshop
If you worked with clay before or not, the one-time workshops are great idea for a fun time where you try something new and little messy. The teacher will lead the demos and assist you throughout the workshop. You make many pots you want and will choose to keep your 2 favorite. You choose the glaze and the studio staff will handle the rest of the process. Pots will be ready in few weeks. Will notify you when ready for pick up.
