Volunteer!
Volunteer sign-up for the 2025 Edmonds Arts Festival is now open!
Volunteers fill a myriad of jobs during the Festival, including checking in the juried art, helping sell art during the Festival, staffing the information booth, delivering food to the artists, checking in volunteers, and more. You can sign up to volunteer in areas that are interesting to you. Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older or 16/17 with a parent or adult sibling supervising.
If you’re interested in participating as a committee member or want to find out about future directorship opportunities, please send an inquiry through the contact form on this site. We’d be happy to discuss the possibilities with you.
