Call for Volunteers
Art All Night Trenton, the city’s premier 24-hour annual community arts event and fundraiser presented by Artworks Trenton, is seeking dedicated volunteers to help bring this year’s celebration of creativity to life. Scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, June 29 and 30, the event will transform its new home — the War Memorial Theatre on Memorial Drive in downtown Trenton — into a vibrant hub of artistic expression, featuring local artists, live music, interactive workshops, and more.
Volunteers are the driving force behind the success of Art All Night Trenton. Their dedication and hard work play a crucial role in ensuring the event runs smoothly and safely. Opportunities are available for individuals of all ages and skill levels, from helping with set-up and tear-down to assisting artists and performers, managing crowds, facilitating workshops, and providing information to attendees.
“We rely on the enthusiasm and dedication of our volunteers to help create an unforgettable, welcoming, and inclusive event experience for the community,” said Craig Shofed, managing director of Artworks Trenton. “Volunteering is a fantastic way to support the arts, meet new people, and be part of something truly special right here in Trenton.”
All volunteers will receive an Art All Night Trenton T-shirt, refreshments, and endless amounts of appreciation and gratitude from event organizers. Additionally, this is an excellent opportunity for students to earn community service hours.
“We invite everyone to join us in making Art All Night Trenton 2024 an extraordinary event,” said Kenya Bullock, Art All Night Trenton’s volunteer coordinator. “By volunteering your time and talents, you will be part of a one-of-a-kind showcase that spotlights the incredible talent and creativity within the Trenton community.”
Interested individuals can sign up to volunteer by visiting the Art All Night Trenton website at www.artallnighttrenton.org/volunteer. The deadline for volunteer registration is Saturday, June 15.
