We are getting ready to launch the Queer Arts Festival:
"QUEERTOPIA" July 25 - August 15, and we need your help!

Volunteering for the Festival can be an exciting, fun, educational experience. YOU are what makes this Festival happen. Come help us out and contribute to your BGLTQ+ community! Volunteering is a great way to meet new people and make artist connections from Vancouver and abroad.

You can volunteer for work specific to the Festival, and/or towards the ongoing work of the Pride in Art Society.

There are benefits too. By volunteering you will receive recognition, passes to our events and prizes. Gain valuable experience in your fields of interest, and volunteer hours for school programs too. Every 4 hours of work garners a free pass to a show of your choice.

Volunteer on performance evenings and see the show for free!

Fill out the volunteer form here and send it to prideinart.volunteer@gmail.com
We'll get back to you as soon as we can!

If you have any questions, comments, or skills not listed below that you would like to contribute,
