Thanks for your interest in being a Community Partner at Art Jam 2026!
What does a Community Partner do at Art Jam? Why, ART, of course! Community Partners set up an art activity to do with the public at the event. It's a great way to interact with the community and get them familiar with your organization in a face to face way. Art Jam 2026 is on Saturday, May 16th from 12 - 4 PM. If the weather is inclement, we will move indoors!
Is there a fee to participate? No, there is not. But, space is limited and Community Partners must be prepared to man their activity site for the entire event, including set up & clean up of your site.
What kind of art activity? There are many forms of art, so we want you to pick an activity that is a good fit for your organization AND your staff that will be doing the activity that day. Here are the various types of art you can consider:
- painting
- drawing
- sculpture
- music
- performance art
- literature
We encourage you to be creative and really get into whatever activity you choose! Need help? WE ARE HAPPY TO PROVIDE SUGGESTIONS! We will also be making sure that we don't have too many repeat activities, so get on our list and don't wait until May to send us your activity idea, lol.
Also, Art Jam has been getting bigger each year. 2026 will be year six. In the past, we have welcomed 3000+ people to the event, and we expect this year to be even bigger! So, be prepared to bring adequate supplies, please.
Can your organization just come and give out info at the event? Unfortunately, no. This event is just about ART. We do encourage you to bring a sign advertising your organization to put up at your site. And it's a great idea for your volunteers/staff to wear branded gear to the event. And if you have the budget for an art related take home goodie, that's ok, too. We are also OK with business cards so people can remember who you are and know how to get in touch with you.
After you submit this form, you wil get an email confirming that we have a space for you at Art Jam 2026. Once you are confirmed, please reply with your planned art activity ASAP. Remember, we love variety & creativity! Think hands on, active participation for all ages & abilities. And fun! Definitely think fun!
