    Artists' Directory?

There are many opportunities to help the Coastal Arts League. We rely on volunteer docents to greet and guide gallery visitors. Volunteers have fun helping with exhibits, receptions, and special events. The Coastal Arts League is the place to meet people, immerse in the arts, and serve the community.
