Arts for LA has created a spectrum of volunteer opportunities in the areas of special events, communications, and civic engagement.

Special Events

Volunteers provide critical support at Arts for LA’s special events, such as:

• ArtsDay - a day of civic engagement between the public and elected officials,
• Pop-Up Art Show - a special art show featuring local LA artists, and
• State of the Arts Summit - an all-day conference of arts and culture professionals and cross-sectors activists,

Duties may include: welcoming attendees, processing registration, setting up/breaking down, and assisting staff with executing the event. Volunteer shifts are traditionally four-hours on the day of the event, although volunteers are often needed the day before and the day after an event.
