Volunteer for FotoFest
Volunteers are the backbone of any non-profit organization
and FotoFest is always in need of volunteers. We are
looking for interested and reliable people of all
ages to for gallery hosting during exhibitions, office
help, exhibition installations and special events.
The Biennial International Month of Photography is
one of the most famous events of its kind in the world.
It brings international and national attention to
Houston. It is a citywide event and over 100 of the
city's arts and education organizations participate.
This is an interesting way to see how one of the world's
largest photographic events takes shape and happens-from
opening night planning through installation and de-installation.
During the Biennial, FotoFest volunteers assist with art handling; gallery hosting; international,
national and press mailings; local distribution of FotoFest materials;
reservations and arrangements for artists and VIPs; office administration
including database updates, mailings, telephone, photocopying and other support.
