Summer Arts Festival Volunteers

Start Thinking About...Volunteering!

We cannot pull the Summer Arts Festival off without the help of our volunteers. They are the backbone of this art-filled celebration. Over 125 Arts Center supporters rally each year acting as gate greeters, Kids Zone assistants and all-around helpers as our 3-day festivities take over the grounds and facility.

We will be needing lots of volunteers for the 2012 Summer Arts Festival! Here are some of the jobs you might consider volunteering for:

Are you a “salt-of-the-earth” kind of person who likes being out in the open air and working with your hands? Do you want to show off your muscles and knowledge of electrical equipment? Volunteering with the SAF Ground Crew is the job for you!

Are you a sincere, friendly person who lights up any room you walk into, assists old ladies as they cross the street, and isn’t afraid to be firm about collecting mandatory gate fees? Volunteering for the SAF Gate Crew would be a great fit for you!

Have you been spending some extra hours at the gym? Do you love packing art around in the glorious summer weather and helping art vendors get set up? Sounds like the SAF Vendor Support Crew is for you!

Want to show off your compendious knowledge about all things related to the Umpqua Valley Arts Association? Do you crave a job that lets you kick back in the shade and tell people about the fabulous benefits of UVAA Membership? Volunteering at the UVAA Info Booth sounds like the job for you!

Are you one of those people who puts things off until the last minute and then miraculously pulls off a complicated task in a short amount of time? Would you rather relax and watch everyone else put in their time during Festival hours and then pitch in at the end? Consider being a part of the SAF Take-Down Crew!

Do you enjoy helping children discover their full creative potential? We need volunteers to oversee the Kids Zone at the Festival! We also need help decorating, setting up, and taking down the Kids Zone!

Do you feel a close connection to the environment? Do you love keeping green spaces clean and beautiful? Wee need people to keep the Food Court clear of trash and to monitor the trash and recycling bins on the grounds during the festival. Volunteer on the SAF Green Team!

All of these volunteer opportunities and more will be available at the 2012 SAF! Click here to fill out the volunteer application online, or call 541-672-2532 and contact Areole Trattner to let her know you are interested in volunteering! You can also email Areole at operations@uvarts.com.
