It takes a community to present An Occasion for the Arts.
Supporting more than 150 visiting artists, a robust student art exhibition, and tens of thousands of attendees over two days is no small undertaking. Volunteers are essential to making the festival welcoming, organized, and enjoyable for everyone involved.
Volunteers assist with:
-
artist check-in and hospitality
-
artwork loading and booth support
-
setup and breakdown
-
answering visitor questions
-
delivering meals and water to artists
-
providing booth relief so artists can take short breaks
Year after year, artists comment on the generosity, professionalism, and warmth of our volunteers. Their commitment is part of what makes the festival special.
An Occasion for the Arts would not be possible without the dedication of our volunteers. We value every individual who contributes their time and energy to this remarkable weekend.
