CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS

SpringWorks: indie theatre & arts festival is on the hunt for a team of dedicated volunteers to help us continue to make our festival a success.
As SWF continues to be a springboard for New Works —
Our goal is to celebrate tomorrow's best independent creativity today:
theatre, dance and explorations in the arts, in Stratford, Ontario —

We showcase programming by emerging and established performing and visual artists from across Canada and the US.

If that sounds like something you'd like to be part of, read on!
 

Each year we launch our season by taking part in the national movement that is Culture Days. This year ~ September 28-39
We host free activities, demonstrations and previews - for more information about volunteering for Culture Days click here
