Shake Hands with a Volunteer

The Narrows Center for the Arts is made possible through the hard work of a valiant band of volunteers.

Every time you buy a ticket to a musical performance, your money goes to pay the artist and to help the Narrows pay rent and maintain the space. Nobody draws a salary. Same goes for every time you purchase a work of art in the gallery. And when you make a donation, 100% of the proceeds are used for non-salary expenses.

Speaking of the gallery, in the picture is the guy who heads it, Jim Bartley. Jim is known for not only working in the gallery, but doing a lot of upkeep tasks for which there is little glory.

Jim is truly a Backstage at the Narrows guy, keeping a low profile. If you see him, you might want to shake his hand and thank him for donating his time to keep the arts alive in Southern New England.
