GET INVOLVED: VOLUNTEERING
Volunteers have always been critical to the success of OH! Open House. As our ambassadors, our guides, crew and story-collectors, champion neighbourhood histories and artworks to our diverse audiences. Senior volunteers play a key role in our development, leading numerous planning subcommittees over the years and bringing our programmes to greater heights. Most indispensably, our volunteer community are our most loyal advocates who keep us steadfast in our mission to tell alternative stories of Singapore through Art.
