Volunteer at the 24th Annual Shoreline Arts Festival

24th Annual Shoreline Arts Festival

June 28 and 29 - Shoreline Center

18560 1st Ave. N Shoreline 98133

Each year a small army of volunteers come together to coordinate, construct and, in general, create from the ground up, what becomes the annual Shoreline Arts Festival! The Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council is currently looking for you to help make this 24th installment of the Festival the best one yet. The Festival is free to all and is a great opportunity to get involved with local artists and art lovers of all kinds in your community.

Your skills can be helpful in a variety of ways:

• Become part of the festival steering committee! Get deep down into the nitty-gritty of what it takes to make the festival happen. From now until the end of June you’ll eat, sleep, breath Festival! (Call 206.417.4645)
• Hands-on and organizational volunteering in the weeks before the festival. There is a ton of work that goes into transforming the business-like Shoreline Center into the Festival-funzone that you know and love. Help make that transition happen. There are jobs for all levels of physical ability and inclination.
• Day(s)-Of-Volunteering. The vast majority of volunteer needs come during the Festival itself. Love kids? Help out in hands-on art. Have a big personality? Volunteer to take the stage and be an MC. Want to help, but prefer something a bit more behind-the-scenes? Work on a set-up or tear-down crew. No matter what your interests, there is a place for you among the ranks of the hundreds of Festival volunteers.

They are looking for people to fill 2-3 hour spots; people can work as many shifts as they like. They have a need for people to work in Hands-On Art helping kids create fun artwork; sit in the various art rooms; work with parking; help in the food court area; and more! All the different opportunities are listed at the volunteerspot.com website (see below).
