Application Deadline: 
25th April 2017

Volunteers play a key role in the festival, we are looking for enthusiastic, friendly and engaged volunteers to join the FIX Photo Festival team and provide an outstanding visitor experience. As part of the FIX Photo Festival team of volunteers you will meet a close-knit group of like-minded individuals, gain great work experience and discover the festival from a whole new perspective.

On each floor of the Bargehouse you will be the first point of contact for visitors so it is important that volunteers are able to communicate comfortably with our audience, demonstrate an enthusiasm for the visual arts and provide accurate information.

As part of a dynamic team, a flexible approach is required as shifts may alternate during each volunteering session. You should be available at least for 5 hours per day, including weekdays and weekends, starting on the 9th of May. This includes the exhibition instalation and derig days until the 22nd of May. If you have a particular interest or experience in art handling please mention this in your communication. 

Volunteering at festival is a great way to make new friends, and gain valuable work experience. By volunteering with us you're going to have the chance to:

- Have a 1 hour portfolio review (if you are a photographer/ artist yourself) with the festival Director and Curator Laura Noble

- Networking opportunities - for potential furture collaborations- launching your career in the arts.

- Have a direct work experience in the art industry and make yourself known.

- Meet artists, curators and influential people in the industry. 

We want to give all volunteers the opportunity to take as much away from the experience as possible and look forward to hearing form you.
