VOLUNTEER AT IN SITU MULTI-ARTS FESTIVAL
SAS is celebrating the restoration of the Small Arms Building with In Situ, a three-day multi-arts event planned for October 27th to 29th and intended to animate the space, build awareness and engage the community in its potential as a creative hub. Partners will come together to celebrate arts, culture and the environment through performance, installation pieces, mentorship opportunities and more. Imagine the building being transformed by local and emerging artists, live music, live art creation and pop up theatre performances!
The SAS In Situ event would not be possible without the support of volunteers to help bring this event to the community and build awareness of this important landmark and its transformation into a creative hub in the future.
We are hoping you will volunteer and bring your talent, skills, commitment and enthusiasm to this event to ensure its success.
