About Open Arts Center
The Open Arts Center is a nonprofit creative arts center in Bend's Central District, offering a community-driven space where teens and adults foster creativity, intergenerational learning, and belonging. Teens ages 13–18 get free and low-cost afterschool creative programming, open art hours, and mentorship. Adult artists can rent private studios, join a member co-working art space, and take or teach classes and workshops.
Volunteering looks like
Volunteers help power a free creative space for teens. Trained, background-checked adult mentors support the afterschool teen program alongside staff, and working artists can share their craft through mentorship, workshops, and classes. Community members can also pitch in on events and on hands-on projects building out and furnishing the center.
