COCONUT GROVE ARTS FESTIVAL SEEKS VOLUNTEERS

The 2010 edition of the Coconut Grove Arts Festival® presented by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida, which transforms the streets of Coconut Grove into an artistic adventure over President's Weekend, February 13-15, is seeking volunteers.  The many key assignments include the staffing of merchandise and vintage poster booths, and assisting artists.

Volunteers are needed each day either during the morning shift (9 a.m. to 2 p.m.), the afternoon shift (1 p.m. to 6 p.m.) or full day.   Adult volunteers will receive an Arts Festival t-shirt and a souvenir poster.  Student volunteers will receive a t-shirt and community service hours. Those arts lovers who volunteer both shifts, all three days will be presented with a complementary framed Arts Festival poster.

No experience is required and young professionals, students in high school or college (minimum of 16 years of age), parents, retirees and members of community groups or arts organizations are all welcome.

Those interested in volunteering are asked to visit the Arts Festival's Web site at www.coconutgroveartsfestival.org and fill out an application online.  Or to have an application sent to you, please contact the office at 305.447.0401 ext. 28. Applications are due by Friday, January 11, 2010.
