Brunswick Arts Council Needs
Volunteers
October
18, 2012
- Brunswick County, NC – The Brunswick Arts Council is
seeking volunteers for the Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 Charles
Dickens Christmas Festival in historic downtown
Southport. This is such a worthy endeavor because any
money raised by this group goes towards providing
quality arts-related experiences and opportunities for
ALL the Brunswick County's culturally diverse residents.
The six operational divisions of the Council are: The
Literary Arts Division; Grants and Development Division;
The Performing Arts Division; The Student Arts Education
Division; the Visual Arts Division and the Multicultural
Program Division. Scholarships, individual artists
grants, group grants, county-wide art shows, Arts in
School Initiative (ASI), vocational arts enrichment
programs, musical instruments and lessons for low-income
students are just some of the ways the Brunswick Arts
Council makes a difference in our county.
The support we're receiving has been overwhelming and
lots of talented people seem to be ready, willing and
able to help. We are hoping to transform the streets of
Southport into everything Dickens. School children will
be involved in performances, out of town Dickens experts
and dramatists will perform, there will be singing
groups of all types, plays, artists and craftsmen,
Gingerbread House, Christmas Tree and costume contests,
and of course, FOOD. Some will be English fare including
high tea at several Bed and Breakfasts! We will start
making assignments soon!
With the complexities of this event, there are many
volunteer opportunities. Some that immediately come to
mind are event parking and security, ticket sales,
setting up and tearing down, retail sales during event,
first aid, audio-visual experts, construction of sets,
lighting, children's games, storytelling, costume
contest coordinator, seamstresses, performers,
hostesses, venue captains, sign makers, artists,
brochure distributors, prop people and much more. Our
Team Leader for Volunteers is Janet Ferraioli and she
would appreciate hearing from you. Her contact info is:
phone number 754-5666 or
janetferraioli@gmail.com.
Give her some ideas as to where your interests lie and
she will look for just the right volunteer assignment
for you!
