1. Art Festival Set Up Crew Friday 10/4/219 (4pm to 8pm) TEN VOLUNTEERS

It takes a lot of "hands-on" help from our volunteers to set up the Art on the Trail art and craft festival. We begin set up on the Friday before opening day and work right up to the time the event is scheduled to open on Saturday. From hanging signs, banners and decorations, to marking off artist tent spaces and special use areas, there is always something for volunteers to do. The set up crew is a great activity for groups to get involved in. Grab your hats and gloves and come down to help us transform the City of Travelers Rest and the iconic Swamp Rabbit Trail into a great outdoor art festival!

Art on the Trail hosts up to 100 talented artists and crafters from all over the southeast. Help us help the artists have a stress-free set up on this day by assisting artists in a variety of ways during the set up process. Some of the jobs Artist Check-In Helpers may do is set up tents, tables, and chairs, direct artists to their booth space, help artists unload their goods, direct artists to approved parking areas, and answer any questions artists may have about the set up process.

4. Art Festival Booth Sitter Saturday 10/5 Start at 9:30 or 1:30 for 4 hour shift

Booth Sitter is a fun way to volunteer during Art on the Trail art and craft festival. Booth Sitters have a unique opportunity to support and get to know our artists. Volunteers will monitor an artist's booth while the artist takes a short 15-30 minute break during the day. Volunteers will not be asked to handle any money or artist transactions while the artist is away from their booth. Volunteers will also assist with various other duties including delivering signage to artists, roaming the site to assist artists and other duties as identified by the event coordinators. Booth Sitters must be able to spend long periods of time on their feet walking the Festival site. Must be at least 18 years old to volunteer for this position.
5. Art Festival Art Experience Assistants Saturday 10/5 starts at 9:30 or 1:30 4 hour shifts

Volunteers will be working with artists and patrons to create their own works of art using various artistic materials. Each craft is themed to the artist's specialty and can be completed in 20 minutes or less. This is a fun and easy activity to volunteer for and a great way to share your own artistic talents and creativity to motivate others! An example of this work is helping children paint a rock they can take with them.
6. Art Festival Quench Crew Saturday 10/5 Start at 9:30 and 1:30 for 4 hours

Art on the Trail art and craft festival spans most of downtown Travelers Rest and visitors get pretty thirsty walking from one end of the festival to the other end! Volunteers are needed to serve soda, water, and other non-alcoholic beverages to the crowd. This is a great opportunity for our younger Volunteers to support the festival and help quench the thirst of our patrons. Sign up with a BFF and work together! This is a great opportunity for parents and children to enjoy volunteering together. Money handling required.
