Thank you for your interest in Volunteering for ArtiGras! We need YOU!
Volunteers must be 14 or older.
Please read the Volunteer Information below.
We look forward to working with you!
Thank you for your interest in volunteering for the 2020 ArtiGras Fine Arts Festival! Our volunteers are the heart of ArtiGras, and we cannot do it without you! Please read the details below and go to Volunteer Registration to begin.
We depend on your commitment to participate. Your presence and prompt arrival for your scheduled shifts are absolutely necessary. It is very important to remember that if your schedule must change, or if you have an emergency, please either cancel your shift via VolunteerLocal, or contact us immediately. If you are contacting our office prior to Thursday, February 13th, please contact (561) 746-7111 or email info@pbnchamber.com. If you are contacting our office on or after Thursday, February 13th, please call the main phone line at (561) 746-7111.
While volunteering, please remember to treat everyone, visitors and other volunteers, with courtesy. If problems occur, please contact an ArtiGras Steering Committee Member. We are there to assist you and can be identified by our Committee shirts and credentials. During the Festival, Steering Committee Members will be checking volunteer locations to make sure everything is running smoothly. Please let them know of any concerns you may have. We want to make your volunteer experience fun and safe, so let us know what we can do to help.
Safety is always the first priority; this is why we ask that no alcoholic beverages be consumed while volunteering, or while wearing the volunteer t-shirt on site.
Patience is always a must; ArtiGras has 1000 devoted volunteers and 50,000 art patrons visit ArtiGras during the 2 days.
WHAT TO WEAR
Dress comfortably for your work area and the weather. The weather is unpredictable in February, so dress accordingly. Comfortable shoes are a must, and closed toed shoes are recommended for safety reasons. ArtiGras will not be cancelled because of rain, and we will still need all of our volunteers. Bring rain gear to your shift if rain is predicted. Don’t forget your sunscreen!
Every volunteer receives the official ArtiGras t-shirt. This t-shirt must be worn while you are working at the Festival. Please do not make any alterations to your t-shirt while you are volunteering for ArtiGras. Your volunteer t-shirt will be provided to you at check-in, and changing areas are available at volunteer headquarters. If you volunteer for more than one shift, remember to wear your volunteer t-shirt for the subsequent shifts. Only one t-shirt is provided per volunteer, and again, we ask that no alcoholic beverages be consumed while wearing the volunteer t-shirt on event site.
