 🎼 Get Involved: Volunteer with Bullys Studios' New Non-Profit Initiative

Bullys Studios Inc. is taking an exciting step forward by launching a non-profit society aimed at organizing shows, workshops, events, and rehearsal spaces in the community. Following an impressive turnout at a recent meeting on Sunday, the team is gearing up for a soft launch of the initiative, with an official launch planned for March 1, 2024.

This non-profit will focus on creating opportunities for the local arts scene while fostering an equitable and collaborative environment. To make this vision a reality, the team is currently seeking volunteers and collaborators, particularly those interested in promoting events, organizing shows, and helping with operational roles such as working the door or bar.

Volunteers of all experience levels are welcome, whether they can contribute an hour a month or more. The organization is also launching a mailing list to keep supporters updated with bi-weekly progress reports and upcoming opportunities.

This is a groundbreaking initiative with a unique approach to hosting events and fostering community connections. Those interested in getting involved are encouraged to sign up for updates and lend their talents to this exciting venture.
