Become an Art Ambassador: Join Our Board!
Art on Wheels provides mobile, hands-on art programming. We travel to our partner organizations' facilities, and we collaborate with program partners and participant artists to ensure that our adaptive programming fosters joy, confidence, and well-being.
We are a small organization but mighty in our impact and as we continue to grow, we’re inviting passionate, creative and driven people to chat with us about joining our Board of Directors.
