ArtFest Fort Myers, southwest Florida’s premier fine art festival, is looking for volunteers to help make our 14th year the very best ever. “We could not put on a world class fine art festival without the help of every one of our three hundred volunteers,” explains Ethel Willis, Volunteer Coordinator. “Each volunteer works a four hour shift and can choose to help with the professional artists, sell commemorative shirts and posters, assist in the children’s Art Yard, check in our VIP’s or select one of dozens of other volunteer assignments. We encourage our volunteers to pick an area that they are interested in and there is no experience required. We provide the training and the beautiful festival t-shirt!”
The core of the ArtFest Fort Myers volunteer spirit is centered around the teamwork of 40 fabulous volunteer Steering Committee Members, who have been with the art festival for many years and oversee every aspect of this nationally recognized art experience. “Our dedicated Committee Members come from all walks of life and work together all weekend to make sure that the professional artists, our sponsors and VIP’s, our volunteers and our visitors have a great time at ArtFest Fort Myers,” explains Willis. “Many of these great people began as four-hour volunteers years ago and embraced additional responsibilities to make ArtFest Fort Myers on of the finest art festivals in the country!”
Your volunteer perks include reserved parking, a complimentary artistic ArtFest Fort Myers Volunteer T-shirt in your size, water, snacks and a chance to meet wonderful artists from across the country and other great volunteers from our community!
