Art Fair / Craft Volunteer

By getting involved, you could…

• Enjoy chatting to the artists and visitors
• Help us make a profit to support the Art Centre
• Be first to see all the great items being sold at the event

What’s involved?

• Create a great first impression
• Welcome, and answer visitors’ questions about the Art Centre
• Keep a note of how many visitors are coming into the event
• Look after the visiting exhibitors by offering refreshments
• Sell items for the Hearth i.e. annual calendar
• Produce packs to distribute to the community via various ‘partners’ e.g. No. 28 Community Support in Hexham, West End of Newcastle Food Bank, Age UK West End of Newcastle, Wylam & Heddon Library, Chrysalis Tynedale etc.

The packs are made up of materials purchased and are suitable for young people, older residents or families.

• Help to run small art and craft workshops. This involves setting up the hall, serving refreshments and clearing up.
• You are important in making sure things run as smoothly and safely as possible – this includes getting to know health and safety and evacuation procedures and being aware of overall security

  Time commitments:

  This is a flexible opportunity and we’d love to hear from potential volunteers able to contribute 2-4 hours across our art fair weekends in April and December each year, plus ad hoc involvement in other workshops depending on your interest and availability.
