Volunteer at PAG

PAG is a community built on shared passion for art, and one of the best ways to deepen that connection is through volunteering. Standard PAG membership includes a volunteer requirement of 4 hours per year, and there are plenty of ways to fulfill it that are genuinely enjoyable. This page is the best place to find opportunities that fit your schedule.

August 28 (setup) + August 29-30 (event days)

    For Setup (August 28th)

  • Help artists locate their assigned tent spots

  • Guide unloading and setup

  • Make sure signage is in place

  • Walk the site to confirm everything is ready before the festival opens

  • Collect required paperwork from artists

Newsletter Coordinator

About 30 minutes to 1 hour per month, fully remote

The PAG newsletter goes out monthly, and this role is all about keeping the content side organized so our Publisher can do their thing.

The Publisher handles layout and distribution. If you're comfortable with email and can copy and paste between documents, you're qualified.

What you'll actually do:

  • Send reminders to section contributors and collect their submissions

  • Review content for style guide compliance

  • Put everything into a single organized document and forward to the Publisher
