Be the power behind the Columbus Arts Festival – Volunteer!

Volunteers are indispensable to the success of the Columbus Arts Festival. Each year, the Festival comes to life through the cooperation of Greater Columbus Arts Council staff, Coordinating Committee members and an expansive corps of over 400 on-site volunteers. Energetic, friendly volunteers are needed for the following areas: artist booth monitors, children and adult hands-on art activities, festival greeters, information booths, performances, souvenir sales and more.

Help plan the Festival on the Coordinating Committee

The Coordinating Committee is the heart of the Columbus Arts Festival. This core group of dedicated individuals is responsible for pre-festival planning, as well as the day-to-day onsite operations. The Committee is made up of 10 sub-committees, each responsible for specific functions within the Festival. Subcommittees are: Artists' Market, Adult Art Activities, Beer Sales, Cuisine Connection, Operations, Marketing, Performances, Poetry/Caricature Artists/Street Performers, Souvenirs, and Volunteers. If you are interested in serving on the 2010 Coordinating Committee, contact the Festival Director.
