Our Volunteers

Pearl Ellis Gallery is a non-profit organization that operates with 100% volunteers. Our current mandate is to promote interest in and the study of visual arts, provide facilities for education and instruction in the arts, maintain a permanent arts center in the Town of Comox, and provide two annual education bursaries for high school students pursuing art as a career. We have an excellent group of volunteers, but more are always needed.

Contact information for these volunteers is available at the reception desk at Pearl Ellis Gallery.
