Join the Festival – We Need a Few Helping Hands

River of Art is powered by people, and we’re looking for friendly volunteers to help welcome visitors at some of our Festival venues during this year’s Festival.

You don’t need to be an artist or have any special experience. If you enjoy meeting people, supporting the arts and being part of something happening in your community, we’d love to have you involved.

Volunteer hosts help welcome visitors, provide simple information about the exhibition or event, and create the warm, friendly experience we want people to remember when they visit River of Art. Training and all the information you need will be provided.

It’s also a wonderful way to experience the Festival from the inside — meet artists and visitors, discover some great work and connect with others in our creative community.

Whether you can give us one shift, a day or a little more, every bit of help makes a difference to a volunteer-led festival like ours.

Come and be part of River of Art 2026 — we’d love to have you with us.
