Information For Volunteers

Join the fun! There are volunteer opportunities for people of all interests and abilities.

Volunteer Orientation:

It is beneficial and necessary of all volunteers to attend the volunteer orientation. This event will provide you with all the necessary details of the Festival and will allow you to meet other volunteers and your Committee Chair. Attending this training will be vital to understanding your volunteer role and other logistics that are pivotal to the success of the festival.

Attendance:

Since we truly rely and depend on each person’s commitment as a participating volunteer, we ask that all volunteers please arrive on time to any event (10-15 min. before assigned time). Timeliness has proven crucial to maintaining organization and it insures that this event will be successful. For any last minute emergencies or if you cannot show up at your assigned time, please contact your Volunteer Chair ASAP. Thank you in advance for your time!

Parking:

Don’t forget your parking pass. If you forget it, you need to check in and pick one up for your car prior to parking in the designated lot.

FESTIVAL COMMITTEES – VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Each year, The Port Warwick Art & Sculpture Festival looks for individuals to volunteer during this exciting event! In fact, volunteers in previous years have created quite a reputation for themselves and for the festival among artist circles! Port
Warwick artists have repeatedly complimented Festival volunteers on their commitment and passion. Our volunteers make up a large portion of the Festival staff and help to manage this cultural weekend. We value and depend on each and every
volunteer, as they are an integral part of the production and success of this event. We look forward to working with you! In order to get to know you and your preferred placement preferences for the festival, we ask that you please fill out a volunteer application. We are now accepting applications!

Volunteer as a team! Recruit a group from your office, church, school, or social organization for a fun and rewarding experience and also as a unique team building exercise. Please contact the Festival at (757) 369-3014 for more information!

All volunteers will serve as “Festival Ambassadors” to welcome and assist the public. Please see all specific Volunteer Committees below.

Our volunteers are known by the artists as always having smiles on their faces and displaying a pleasant attitude at all times! We look forward to continuing that tradition.
