Get involved with Art Across the City 2015
We are always looking for new, enthusiastic and friendly volunteers to join our team and help us carry out our public art programme. Volunteering is a great way to gain valuable experience and get involved with what’s going on in the art scene as well as get an insight in to how public art organisation operates. Through volunteering you will also meet like minded people and build experience and skills in areas such as artwork installation, administration, publicity, invigilation, workshop support and professional development.
