Columbus, Ohio – The Columbus Arts Festival is seeking volunteers to serve on the Coordinating Committee for the 50th Anniversary of the Festival, June 3-5, 2011. The Coordinating Committee assists with several aspects of planning and execution of this annual event, produced by the Greater Columbus Arts Council.
Coordinating Committee volunteers spend up to 100 hours working on the Festival from November through June, but commitment varies by committee. Volunteers also are largely responsible for the on-site execution of the event, requiring a significant time commitment the weekend of the Festival. Experience in special events or with the arts is not necessary, but energy and the ability to work as part of a team are essential. These are working committees and require a strong personal commitment. Availability during the Festival dates is required.
Individuals interested in being considered for a Coordinating Committee position should send a resume and cover letter to: Leah Alters, Columbus Arts Festival Director, 100 E. Broad Street, Suite 2250, Columbus, OH 43215 or via e-mail to lalters@gcac.org. Deadline for application is Fri., Oct. 1. Prospective committee members will be contacted for an interview.
