Volunteer Program
Community Involvement
Our volunteer program has grown to include over 50 people a semester! From community members wanting to give back, to high school students needing service hours, our volunteers assist in weekly classes and help out with events.
ARTree also partners with the City of Santa Clarita's Volunteer Engagement Program.
Scholarships
Art Supplies for Home Practice
ARTree recognizes that not everyone can attend an in-person art class or participate in a free event. To provide support for those who practice art at home, we offer 2 scholarships a year, providing new, high-quality art supplies to awardees.
Bob Hernandez Founders Scholarship for youth and Michael Powell Memorial Scholarship for adults are awarded every year.
Student Art Show
Showcase & Fundraiser
ARTree hosts twice-yearly public art shows of student work, held in the neighboring Santa Clarita Artists Association gallery. Students choose their favorite piece created in one of our classes. ARTree provides a frame and hosts a reception for friends and family to celebrate our artist’s achievements.
Spring 2026 show dates: Apr 24-26
Partnering with student club, Bracelets with Purpose!
