Volunteers
Our volunteers make the Skeleton Park Arts Festival possible! All volunteers are asked to complete and submit an application form. Volunteers are asked to complete a minimum of 2 shifts over the course of the festival (each shift is approx. 2 hrs). Volunteers are also asked to attend a brief volunteer orientation in Skeleton Park leading up the festival, where you will receive a handbook with important information and a site map, as well as your SPAF t-shirt!
Applications will become available at a later date. In the meantime, if you're interested in getting involved with our year-round programming or have any questions, contact Jill Glatt, Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@skeletonparkarts.org
Community Service Booths
The Skeleton Park Arts Festival offers space for community groups to set up a booth/table in McBurney Park to meet folks from the neighbourhood and other festival goers!

Performers
If you are a performing artist based in the Kingston region, let us know more about you! We don’t have a formal application process for our Festival or other live music events around the year, but if you give us some links to your work and invite us to upcoming concerts in the area, we’ll do our best to follow up and keep you on our radar! We are especially interested in links to video of recent live performances.
