Volunteer with KIC and our beloved community partner, the Museum of Wisconsin Art (MOWA), at its annual Art & Chalk Fest. The festival features artists from the Wisconsin arts community. Families can experience chalk artists creating large-scale works of chalk art right before their eyes, watch a glass-blowing demo in a mobile hot shop, get a caricature drawing of the family, or see clay sculpted into handmade vessels on a pottery wheel all while listening to live music. There will also be an Activity Zone where you can participate in Chalk the Street or get creative with hands-on art projects.
Activities
Come volunteer during a shift on Saturday, Aug. 17, or Sunday, Aug. 18. By volunteering, you’ll get a free Art & Chalk Fest t-shirt and get to stay for the fun before and/or after your shift. A fabulous way to spend a family summer day! Specifically, MOWA needs our help with the following jobs:
- 1) Festival Greeter: Hang out at the entrance and greet people as they enter the festival, hand out a brochure, and point people in the right direction.
- 2) Raffle Tent Helper: Sell raffle tickets and instruct people to write their name/phone number on the tickets.
- 3) Family Activity Area Helper: Encourage and help families start hands-on art activities and refill art supplies as needed.
- 4) Museum Greeter (inside): Use an attendance clicker to track the number of people entering the museum, hand out bookmarks, and welcome visitors inside the museum.
Impact
Kids will get to use their time and love to support MOWA and spread an appreciation and passion for American art in our beautiful state of Wisconsin – all while having a fun time at the Art & Chalk Fest!
