Toronto’s all night contemporary art extravaganza, Nuit Blanche, is fast approaching on October 3, 2009.
The dusk-til-dawn public celebration of contemporary art will once again feature thousands of artists showcasing their work in unlikely spaces across the city. The success of this massive event would not be possible without the generous assistance of hundreds of volunteers who support the event year after year. We need your help!
With nearly a million people hitting the streets to view over 130 projects in three zones across the city, there is a strong need to assist the public in navigating the event. The primary volunteer opportunities for this year's event will be the roles of: Information Ambassador, Project Facilitator & Usher.
Information Ambassadors will volunteer at the event’s Information Centres and high traffic locations, welcoming audiences, providing information, answering questions, and handing out guides and maps.
Project Facilitators and Ushers will volunteer at a specific project. Project Facilitators will assist audience members with interactive projects, while Ushers will assist people waiting to view a project, ensuring their successful navigation through line-ups and the work itself.
For all three positions, the time commitment will include:
1) Your first and last name
2) A phone number where we can reach you during business hours
3) The volunteer position you are interested in:
Thanks in advance for your support!
