Frequently Asked Volunteer Questions:
What does volunteering look like?
Volunteering can look like many different things, depending on what shift you work and what abilities you have. It may mean assisting in event setup and teardown, checking in visitors at event entrances and recieving payment for tickets as a Gate Greeter, helping organize vendor booth locations, distributing event maps to guests, or working the Hockaday Information Booth. There is something for everyone who is willing to help!
Can I sign up for more than one shift?
Of course! We appreciate all the help we can get and are happy to have volunteers for multiple shifts and/or days.
Do I receive anything in return for volunteering?
On top of the fulfilling feeling of supporting your local art community, you will receive a small gift and be entered into a special volunteer gift basket drawing. As thanks for your time volunteering with us, you’ll also gain free, unlimited entry into the AIP event for the duration of the weekend, allowing you to enjoy vendors showcasing handmade paintings, jewelry, ceramics, sculptures, housewares and more for sale as well as live musicians and entertainers’ performances on the outdoor stage.
