The Biennial wants you!
Team leaders, exhibition assistants, marketing and press assistants, exhibition guides and invigilators are being sought from now until the end of the festival.
A range of volunteering opportunities will be available on weekdays and evenings and at weekends, depending on experience and availability, from 7 September.
Opportunities include:
Team leaders – ideally with staff management experience and first aid qualifications
Exhibition assistants – who will be involved in a variety of jobs including collection, unpacking and placing of artworks
Marketing assistants – to support the marketing team with tasks such as print distribution, data inputting and research
Press assistants – to support the press preview and journalist visits
Exhibition guides and front of house assistants – to set up for events, welcome guests and talk to the public about the festival
Invigilators – to meet and greet, monitor visitor numbers, answer queries and ensure the safety of the artworks
All volunteers will be given an induction and training.
