On-Site Assistance
If you need assistance during your volunteer shift and there is not a staff member present at the time, please feel free to flag down someone else in a BRAF shirt who can call for assistance on a radio. You are welcome to go back to the volunteer tent if you need assistance with any issues. There will also be medics and IMPD staff on-site both days to aid with any security or medical needs.

Done for the Day

Once you have completed your shift, you will be released from your station either by an IAC staff member or the next volunteer filling your spot at that station. Once you are finished with your shift, you’re more than welcome to stick around and enjoy the fair! If you finish your shift at the end of the day, and you are willing and able to help tear down your station or jump in with any other tear down needs, we always appreciate extra helping hands!

Enjoying the Fair!

As stated previously, we highly encourage volunteers to enjoy their free admission to the fair! If you are planning to attend the fair on a day you aren’t scheduled to volunteer, you still need to check-in through the Volunteer Tent in order to be admitted. For example, if you volunteer Saturday and then come back on Sunday to shop and groove to music, you still need to enter through the Volunteer Tent! If you are working a late or early shift, please come early or stay late to enjoy the fair as well.

We look forward to seeing you at the Art Fair and we greatly appreciate your help! If you have any questions before this weekend please email, events@indplsartcenter.org.
