CommArts
During Festival, Pre/Post Festival for setup/pack up

The Community Arts (CommArts) team is responsible for a range of creative elements as part of the Festival. They facilitate a number of activities with a focus on participation and community, including mural painting and crafting workshops and lantern making leading up to a lantern parade through the festival.

Who

This team needs volunteers with good interpersonal skills, a strong sense of organisation and time management and who aren’t afraid of getting a little bit messy. A creative side is encouraged, and artistic experience is looked upon favourably.
Previous experience in fields relating to teaching young people or working with creative problem-solving will be highly regarded. Any applicants studying in this field are encouraged to apply.

The days are long and quite a lot of moving is involved, we will try to accommodate accessibility needs, but note this job means being on your feet for at least 5 hours per day. Patience and understanding with younger festival goers, as well as kindness and a good deal of fun is also must!

When

The Community Arts team operates during the Festival, from the 2nd of April to the 6th of April, between 8:30 am - 5:30 pm. Set up and pack down occurs March 30 - April 2 and April 7-8.
Volunteers for this team are required to complete 20 hours of work, or 30 if working only pre and post.

How

All volunteers are required to complete online induction and training that will be available prior to the festival dates. Face-to-face training requirements will be advised by your Team Coordinator once you are confirmed as part of a team
