Volunteers needed for vendor setup (shift is 3:45-5:30pm) and greeting patrons at our gallery doors (shifts are 6:00-7:30pm and 7:30-9pm).
Vendor Setup Volunteers: will meet our Program Director, Sydney, at our gallery (6 S Joachim Street) at the start of shift and walk down to Cathedral Square with her. You will be assisting her with showing vendors where to set up their tents and answering any questions people may have about ArtWalk.
Gallery Greeters: these volunteers will stand at our gallery doors and welcome patrons as they come in the gallery. They will also have a hand-held clicker and will count people as they walk through for our data records.
About ArtWalk: Celebrating the arts in downtown Mobile! LoDa ArtWalk is a free monthly event that showcases our visual, performing, and culinary arts community. This event takes place on the second Friday of every month from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Lower Dauphin (LoDa) Arts District. LoDa ArtWalk is made possible through a partnership between the Events Division of the Mobile Parks & Recreations Department, the Mobile Arts Council, and other downtown partners.
During ArtWalk, Dauphin Street is shut down for pedestrian foot traffic, and local art galleries, institutions, studios, and unique shops stay open extended hours for the public to explore. This family-friendly event is a staple of Mobile's arts community, bringing thousands Downtown to visit venues, eat at restaurants, and shop with the local outdoor vendors. A monthly infographic listing of ArtWalk participants can be located on the LoDa ArtWalk Facebook page and at the bottom of this page the week prior to each event.
