We have a couple of events in Parkdale coming up that we are in need of volunteers. The events are the "Queen West Crawl" and "Nuit Blanche." This volunteer opportunity would be a great way to network with artists and the community and be part of a couple of great events in the Parkdale area.
QUEEN WEST ART CRAWL (Sept 12,13,14) 5 volunteers needed
The Queen West Art Crawl is scheduled for Sept 12, 13, 14 where over 200 juried artists will be housed in Trinity Bellwoods Park selling their crafts. The festival also includes performance art and art installations that will fill the streets of Parkdale for two days. An entertainment stage will be set-up in the Green P parking lot (beside the Dollarama) for two days of live entertainment. http://www.parkdaleliberty.com/show_info.php?page_id=66#top
