Artisphere Seeks Arts Groups Volunteers for Festival Weekend
Greenville, S.C. – Artisphere, Greenville’s Arts Weekend, is currently accepting group volunteer applications for its Arts Partner Program. A unique element of Artisphere, its Arts Partner Program provides local nonprofit arts organizations with a portion of the proceeds from Artisphere in recognition of their assistance in recruiting the almost 600 volunteers needed to run the festival each year. Since its inception in 2006, Artisphere has "regranted" $65,000 to local arts groups through the program.
The Arts Partner Program places volunteers in key positions during the festival’s three-day event scheduled for May 7-9. Interested organizations must be a registered 501(c) 3 nonprofit arts-related group such as dance, theater, performance, cultural arts, etc. Arts Partner Program groups must also be able to provide a minimum of 30 volunteers to work at least one shift, totaling 120 volunteer hours or more during the festival weekend. Applications can be downloaded at www.greenvillesc.gov/PublicInfo_Events/Volunteers.aspx. The deadline to apply is February 12 at 5 p.m.
