Artwalk 2008 Needs your help!! Shifts for volunteers are typically 3-4 hours and cover a variety of options for event weekend: September 5-6. Look over the areas where you can be of service, and sign up to volunteer or contact volunteers@birminghamartwalk.org for more info. All volunteers receive a free volunteer t-shirt and a pass to the After Party at Sloss Furnaces on Saturday, September 6.
ARTIST HOSPITALITY -Each volunteer is assigned to a street captain with a specific territory. Volunteers check on all the artists within that area and assist in making sure they have everything they need throughout the show. Some errands performed might include getting them water, or monitoring their booth for a short break. The final shift on Saturday will help collect taxes.
