This September, we are hosting Downtown Durham's 50th annual CenterFest Arts Festival, and we would love your help! We are looking for volunteers through September 15th to 21st for a variety of roles to help facilitate the festival.     

Since 1974, Durham Arts Council has brought the Durham community together with an annual arts festival in the fall. As Durham’s signature fine arts festival, CenterFest showcases juried visual artists from across the country and fills multiple stages with stand-out local performers. Art shoppers are dazzled by world-class ceramics, paintings, photography, jewelry, fiber art, woodwork, glass, and more. Creators are based in Durham, the Triangle and across the country. CenterFest also features musicians, dancers and unique street performers to provide continuous entertainment. Kids will have a blast at the Creative Kids Zone, food vendors keep guests fueled for fun, and Durham’s nonprofit and government services sector inspire and inform festival goers. Taking place in the heart of Durham’s historic downtown, a concentration of local businesses and eateries elevate the visitor experience!

We would love to have you join us! This experience is not only critical for supporting local artists and non-profits, but it will be fun as well! To find out more about the festival and to sign up please use the links provided below.
