The Works is in the process of recruiting Volunteers for our 33rd annual festival June 21-July 3rd.
Festival Volunteer Positions
Exhibit Crew – Supervise outdoor and indoor exhibits to ensure the safety of artwork and patrons. Welcome visitors to exhibits and encourage conversations.
Travel Grant
Edmonton’s artists, arts administrators and arts educators benefit from sharing knowledge and product with the rest of the world. When those individuals return to Edmonton they bring with them increased capabilities and connections which benefit the city as a whole. Traveling to perform, research, attend conferences and exhibitions offers those individuals professional and creative opportunities that do not exist locally, and yet are vital to the continued advancement and growth of Edmonton’s arts community.
Deadline: June 1

Artists Working in Community
The Artists Working in Community course is designed to provide professional development for artists interested in pursuing public art projects with a community focus, and is intended for professional artists wishing to:
Explore and develop a community based public art practice.
Understand the opportunities and the challenges of community based work.
Plan to join the Edmonton Arts Council from September 11-13, for the 2018 APAN Summit, Public Art – It’s Complicated, an exploration of the many issues and trends affecting the public art field.
The Summit will take place at the Matrix Hotel in downtown Edmonton, just steps away from the North Saskatchewan River Valley and Legislature Building grounds, cafes, restaurants, and public art.
The Canadian artist and educator Justin Langlois is the Keynote Speaker. The Edmonton-based artists Jason Gondziola and Brooke Leifso will lead participants through a hands-on, experiential community art workshop that will address the theory and ethics of working with community.
