Volunteers needed for Woodlands Water Arts Festival

THE WOODLANDS, TX – The Woodlands Arts Council has put out a call for volunteers to assist in the giant and glamorous annual Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival, coming in April.

The festival’s success depends on the hard work of volunteers to help the council fulfill its mission of spreading art appreciation – and scholarships – in the local arts world. Proceeds form the festival directly impact local Title 1 schools in Montgomery County, area arts organizations, artists, and students. More than $1.4M has been raised in funding for art in our community.

“Volunteers are an essential part of our team. They help with various tasks such as greeting attendees, scanning tickets, selling beverages, supporting artists, and more. There's a place for everyone to make an impact,” said Jenny Carattini-Wright, executive director of Woodlands Arts Council. “By volunteering, you are making artmatter. It takes a team of almost 600 each year, and we are so grateful to have your participation.”

Volunteers can enjoy multiple perks for their hard work at the festival, including:

• Volunteer exclusive t-shirt
• Commemorative pin when you finish your shift(s) – showing it to Market vendors will get them a 10 percent discount on purchases
• Snacks and water provided during shifts
• Free admission to The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival before or after shift

Volunteers who sign up for two or more shifts receive an additional daily admission ticket to bring a friend or family member to enjoy the event. Show your volunteer pin at the Market at the festival to receive a 10% discount on your purchase.
