Volunteering
We Need You
Dive in and celebrate creativity, community and culture. Volunteer and be part of something extraordinary: help set up, guide visitors and experience the magic. Mark your calendar and join us for an unforgettable artistic adventure!
Typical Art All Night
Every year hundreds of volunteers pitch in to run the event. The event couldn’t come together without your tremendous support, so join in and become part of an awesome tradition. There are plenty of opportunities in your comfort zone, or stretch yourself and do something new. Sign up for as little as a two hour shift or stay the whole event!
Before the Event
There are a lot of ways for people of all abilities and interests to help prepare for the show. Look for Buildout Saturdays on this site and on social media in the weeks leading up to the event.
At the Event
At Art All Night, safety is our top priority. As such we expect all volunteers to engage in a safe and respectful manner while conducting their volunteer tasks.
2 hour Event Voluteer shifts begin between 9:30 am Saturday and run till 6:00 pm Sunday. Registration shifts are longer.
If you have volunteered with us before, remember to wear your blue volunteer shirt to your shift!
