Art Alliance Austin Announces "Work For Three - Get In Free."
 
Active Apr 8, 2008 to Apr 13, 2008
Art Alliance Austin's flagship event (formerly the Austin Fine Arts Festival) is always a popular and exciting volunteer opportunity, but this year's re-imagined and relocated fair will offer chances not only to experience something new and exciting - participation will mean making history.
The ambitious undertaking of staging this temporary outdoor art utopia would not be possible without the willingness of people to work on behalf of the 20,000+ art enthusiasts and hundreds of artists who make up Art City Austin. More than 600 energetic and friendly community volunteers are needed to staff various festival areas including: front gate (greeters, ticket takers and festival surveyors), children's art activities, information booth, artist hospitality, and volunteer check-in, among others. Volunteering is made easy with flexible activities and schedules before, during and/or after the Art City Austin festival.
Each April, hundreds of juried independent and emerging artists descend on the hub of innovation, expression, and individuality that is Austin, Texas. 20,000+ art enthusiasts from the region and nation are expected at Art City Austin 08 (formerly the Austin Fine Arts Festival). The outdoor fair is set against streets, plazas, and green spaces on the edge of a flourishing and hip downtown shopping and arts district-where the award-winning Austin City Hall rests on the banks of Lady Bird Lake. Reflecting the city's vibrant energy, the city's largest and longest running outdoor art fair offers not only rousing art for many budgets, but complimentary art experiences for all who enter. Discover a temporary art utopia where curious and delightful discoveries await around each corner. Welcome to art city!
ART ALLIANCE AUSTIN (Est. 1956)
At the intersection of art and life, creativity and commerce, collaboration and imagination, Art Alliance Austin is a member-powered organization where we make art possible. We do it because art is a force and people need it to thrive. We produce really great art events to inspire our citizens, catalyze artists to create, support the understanding and collection of visual art, and to hasten city-wide collaboration. We stimulate the local economy with collecting, travel, and money in the pockets of our artists. We connect leaders and big organizations to make possible the profitable and the whimsical. With member events throughout the year, our efforts culminate each spring in Art Week Austin, ending with our annual art fair: Art City Austin. Join the fun. Art + life. |
