Every summer ArtiCulture participates in a variety of art festivals around town. It's a great way for us to spread the word about what we do and meet cool new folks.
We send out our teachers with art supplies for an activity like book making, amulets, or finger puppets, a handful of fliers and a sign-up sheet for our mailing list. There usually so many people though (our table rocks), our teachers need help!
If you're creative and social and like helping out, this is right up your alley and we'd be glad to have you! Please shoot Deb, our volunteer coordinator, an email or phone call! deborah@articulture.org / 612.729.5151
Shifts are usually 4-5 hours long, and we ask people to commit to at least two over the course of the summer. We're looking for people who are 16 years of age and up (minors need parental permission).
Festivals we're participating in this summer include:
- Art A Whirl, 5/18 & 5/19
- The Ordway's International Children's Festival, 6/1 & 6/2

Does your pooch have star power? Is your iguana too gorgeous to be kept indoors all day? Polly want a portrait?
We're looking for cool and/or unusual pets to serve as models for our Reigning Cats and Dogs Camp (July 29 - August 2).
If your animal can be calm around large groups of kids for 2-3 hours (just one time), we'd love to have them model for anatomical studies. We can work around your schedule, too!
Want your car turned into a masterpiece for our Art Car summer camp?
Leave the vehicle and keys with us for the week of July 15 - 19!
Our class will transform your clunker into a rolling work of art to be featured in the Art Car Parade on Saturday, July 20! After that, we'll hand it back to you, beautified and a thing of joy forever.

ArtiCulture is putting out it's summer class schedule (with summer camp information in it!) the week of April 8th and we need YOUR help!
Folks with daytime availability are especially needed to make sure we reach the schools of S. Mpls. But we also need a bunch of folks to do the local businesses - that schedule is more flexible. It's usually about a 3-4 hour time commitment for schools, somewhat lesser for businesses (we give everyone ten stops - but if you only have an hour or two, we won't turn you away!)
We like to say thanks with $25 gift certificates that can be put towards class tuition fees, and by showering you in affection.
This is crucial work we rely on volunteer for! If interested, call 612.729.5151 or email info@articulture.org and we'll be in touch! THANK YOU!!!
