Volunteers

The Omaha Summer Arts Festival relies on more than 150 volunteers who contribute their time, talent and experience to help make the event a success each year.

If you’re looking for a fun way to get involved and support the arts in downtown Omaha, we are always looking for energetic, dedicated people to act as local ambassadors as they help in a variety of ways, including:

• Artist Concierge Services: Includes assisting artists with load-in and load-out, booth sitting, artwork delivery, running errands, providing water, snack and lunch delivery to the artists’ booths and staffing the artists’ lounge.
  
  

• Children’s Fair: Help provide hands-on crafts, decorate the Children’s fair, staff the information booth, sell activity tickets and volunteer in the Toddler Tent.
  
  

• Young Artist Exhibition: Held in two locations, volunteers greet guests, hand out programs and monitor artwork.
  
  

• Wine & Cheese Café: Check ID, wristband, sell and pour wine. Must be 21 to volunteer in the Wine Cheese Café.
  
  

• World Music Pavilion: Check ID, wristband, sell and pour a variety of beverages. Must be 21 to volunteer in the World Music Pavilion.
  
  

• Luigi Waites World Music Stage: Help backstage as bands load-in and load-out and help maintain performers lounge.
  
  

• Floater: If you want to do a little bit of everything, this one's for you!
