How do you want to help Artsweek 2025?

ARTSWEEK AMBASSADOR

The Artsweek Ambassador is on-site during Artsweek events to answer questions from the public, support the site lead in crowd control, collect donations and audience feedback through evaluation forms, and help to ensure Artsweek’s accessibility goals are met. Ambassadors should be punctual, reliable, and comfortable interacting with members of the public. As representatives of Artsweek, you need to be friendly, professional, and able to manage the intake of donations responsibly. We would love for Artsweek Ambassadors to take part in the social media coverage of Artsweek by sharing their experiences on their personal social media accounts.

ON-SITE PRODUCTION ASSISTANT

The On-Site Production Assistant will work directly with artists to install, de-install, and prep indoor/outdoor spaces for Artsweek events and performances. The Production Assistants should be able to follow directions and work well with others. Experience working in galleries, theatres, or other art and performance venues is an asset, but is not required. Enthusiasm for making behind-the-scenes magic happen is a must.
