Volunteer in advance (A), for the festival day (F) or a weekend shift (W).
(W) & (F) These positions will help to set up and break down the arts activities located in the Arts Building or at the Festival Arts Tents. Work with the Teaching Artists and assisting guests in doing the art projects. Best suited for volunteers who love to interact with families in making art.
