About Artists-on-Call

Artists on Call is the name of our professional level volunteer program (domestic and international). BuildaBridge a growing worldwide network collaboration of artists virtually connected in every country where BuildaBridge works. Artists (even educators, therapists, social workers, medical personnel) from all over the world are notified of available needs in both Philadelphia and around the world with BuildaBridge network partners.
This is implemented through information sharing. For example, if an artist attends BuildaBridge’s Institute in Guatemala s/he is now part of the BuildaBridge network, s/he can be placed in programs in Kenya or Malaysia if there is a current need for artists in these countries. A homeless Shelter in Philadelphia needs and art therapist, registered creative art therapists can respond.

Artists, and those interested in working with an arts team, can register as a professional or volunteer artist and through on-ground or on-line training to receive certification for service. Organization Network Partners may also register and request assistance. This virtual cadre of artists can then be notified of global “hotspots” where there is a need for art relief services.
