Volunteer
Want to be a part of Vancouver’s largest visual arts events of the year? Join our volunteer team for the CREATE! Arts Festival, the Eastside Culture Crawl or the Eastside Arts District!
Our volunteers are crucial to the operation of our organization—this year, more than ever. We are pleased to offer an in-person CREATE! Arts Festival and Culture Crawl experience, with safety at the forefront, as we continue to connect artists, craftspeople, and designers with the community. Now in its 26th year, the Eastside Culture Crawl offers unparalleled, intimate access for artists and the community to connect through open studio weekends, exhibits, workshops & demos, and artists talks. The CREATE! Arts Festival offers the community opportunities to learn how to create artwork of their own in accessible and affordable outdoor art workshops in the summer.
