Coulee Fest SAAG Art Activity Table
Suitable for Youth
The Gallery will be hosting an outreach and art activity booth at Lethbridge Polytechnic’s Coulee Fest.
Coulee Fest is a family-targeted funfair on the Lethbridge Polytechnic Campus. We’re looking for volunteers to support our staff and guest artists at this fun event.
Volunteer Duties
- Program set up: volunteers will assist the guest artist and Gallery staff in preparing the craft booth for the program, setting up materials, organizing the table, prepping and laying out the activity, and other set up needs as required.
- Participation: volunteers will participate in the craft activity with program participants. The artist will walk them through the craft project following the activity set up to ensure they feel confident doing the project.
- Activity support: volunteers will assist the guest artist and participants throughout the program, providing guidance on the activity when appropriate and/or raising concerns to the guest artist. They will help to clean up the space throughout the activity, such as throwing out paper scraps, putting lids on glue sticks and markers, sharpening pencils, and other jobs as needed.
- Program clean up: volunteers will assist with cleaning up after the activity, putting away materials, packing up the booth, and transporting it back to the Gallery’s vehicle(s) – Special considerations: Coulee Fest is a public, family-targeted event and the Gallery’s booth will likely be in the kids zone.
Age Requirements
16 years old or above
Requirements
- Volunteers should be comfortable working/around with a wide range of ages, including children.
- Volunteers are not expected to provide childcare, as children must be supported by an adult when attending Coulee Fest.
- Volunteers should be comfortable engaging with members of the public. The art project is designed to be fun for all skills levels so an art background is not required for volunteers. This program will take place outside and the event may be noisy.
Schedule
