We have two primary volunteer opportunities: Art in the Burbs Committee and Setup/Show Volunteers.
Joining our committee is incredibly fulfilling, and gives you an inside look at how an art show and sale is organized. It’s an incredible way to get involved!
During the show, we require a large group of volunteers throughout the weekend. It’s a fun way to spend a few hours, and we see repeat volunteers come back again and again every year!
Details about these volunteer opportunities are below.
Volunteer During the Show
What does volunteering during the show and/or setup look like?
We have multiple positions available over the course of three days:
Friday before the show: Setup. Assist artists as they arrive, helping them unload their vehicles and bring their gear in.
Saturday (day one of the show): Multiple shifts available throughout the day for runners, holds, check-in, and more.
Sunday (day two of the show): Same shifts as Saturday, plus an additional shift after the show for cleanup.
