As a volunteer for Columbia Festival of the Arts, you are free to choose how and when you volunteer. Most volunteer opportunities center around LakeFest, a mid-June three-day outdoor festival of performing artists, displays and sales of visual artists and various art activities for children.
For LakeFest, CFA recruits between 150 and 200 volunteers who make it possible for others to explore the arts at no cost. CFA recruits volunteers to serve as:
- Providing information to festival attendees
- Selling merchandise for CFA and performing artists
- Serving as ushers and concessionaires for indoor performances
- Providing hospitality and support to performing and visual artists
- Protecting the environment used by the Festival and encouraging vendors and festival attendees to be eco-friendly
In addition to the above festival-related volunteer opportunities, CFA has the following ad hoc opportunities throughout the year:
- Assisting the CFA office
- Assisting CFA partners in many tasks similar to those for LakeFest
- Assisting in CFA fundraising events
- Assisting in other CFA sponsored artistic events.
