Volunteer Drive & Artist Mixer
Apr

Volunteer Drive & Artist Mixer

Join us for an evening at The Blue Door to learn about how you can become a part of the Midland Art Crawl.

This is a great opportunity to be a part of the lively arts community in Midland, meet new people, get to know local business owners and artists, as well as get out of the house for a fun and unique volunteer experience in Midland.

*Please note: The Blue Door does also have non-alcoholic beverages; however, you must be 21+ to attend.

What to Expect

  • We will provide information on volunteering with the art crawl and/or becoming an artist.

  • Midland Art Crawl artists members and existing volunteers to mingle with

FAQ

What does a volunteer with the art crawl do?

Volunteers with the Midland Art Crawl help manage venues during the art crawl by liaising with the venue owner (local business or organization). This entails day-of coordination of the onsite artists, answering questions from art crawlers, directing art crawlers to the resources to have a successful crawl, tracking foot traffic of your venue, and taking notes on the events (as needed).

What does the time commitment look like?

We typically have one 30-minute meeting the week of the quarterly, citywide crawl (first Friday of March, June, September, and December) to answer any questions that you may have, provide information on the event specifics for that particular crawl, provide you with materials to bring to your venue and to provide you with a shirt so you’re easy to pick out.
