Family Art Day Volunteers Needed: Friday & Saturday

Family Art Day, River Arts Alliance’s biggest annual event, is coming up next Saturday, September 2! At this free event, kids and families of all ages can try out a wide variety of arts activities at stations led by local artists. Family Art Day is located at the Jaycee Pavilion in Lake Park, Winona.

We can still use a few more volunteers to help make sure the event is a success. Opportunities to help out and roles are as follows:

Set-up on Friday, Sept. 1
Help move and arrange picnic tables in and next to the pavilion. Help set up RAA’s 16′ x 32′ tent near the pavilion. Time is to be determined and is flexible – let us know when you’d be available!

Saturday, Sept. 2
Event morning set-up, approx. 7:30-10:00 am: Set up smaller canopies, folding chairs, & signage; cover tables; etc.
During event, 10:00 am-2:00 pm (all or part of this time):
– Welcome table: greet participants, hand out attendance stickers, etc.
– Assist artists: help an artist at their activity station throughout the event or be a floating volunteer available to monitor a station while the artist in charge takes a break.
Post-event takedown, 2:00-approx. 4:00 pm: Help with general takedown and clean-up after the event ends.

If you’d like to volunteer, please contact RAA Arts Administrator Johanna Rupprecht at admin@riverartsalliance.org or 320-305-4096. Thank you!

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeast Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund.
