Hello!  We are stoked that you are interested in taking part in Breathe 2020 as member of the Arts and Aesthetics Volunteer Team! Over the course of three days prior to the festival, the Arts and Aesthetics Team will work together with festival organizers to create the beautiful spaces, workshop areas, art and other installations. Your work will help to enrich this space, and fill out the grounds with beauty and interaction. This can be an incredible opportunity to get yourself, and your art out into the world! with over 600 attendees last year Breathe is an incredible platform for networking and connecting to this community.

What type of work are we looking for?

Your imagination is the only limit to what you can bring to Breathe as an art installation. From floating rooms created for relaxation and sound healing, pop-up art galleries, spaces for sharing stories and conversation, to massive LED light structures. The possibilities are literally endless!

The parameters for this volunteer opportunity at Breathe are somewhat unique as the bulk of our work as a team will be completed prior to Festival-start.  Here are the requirements to consider before applying:

Arrive at Stable Studios, check in, setup camp, and be prepared to start working no later than 9am Tuesday, July 7th. This is to ensure you have enough time to fully setup your installation. As well as give us the time to help in any way we can to enhance your piece or space. You may arrive at Stable Studios any time after (but NOT BEFORE) 7am Monday, July 6th. If you cannot make it onsite before the morning of the 7th, include a note in your arrival times and we will work with you to get you and your art to Breathe 2020!

Once you have arrived at Stable Studios, be prepared to be fully in charge of setup, care, and de-rig of your work. Breathe will be able to assist you where we can to help, but we ask that you plan on being entirely self sufficient. In addition to that if you are able to jump in with the rest of the Arts and Aesthetics crew for setup that would be an incredible help! We are an entirely volunteer run festival. This means everything we build we build together, and would love it if you as one of our artist would like to help.

Once the Festival begins...Enjoy!  While work activities will be significantly reduced during the Festival, it will be the responsibility of the artists to maintain their work. This may include turning on or shutting off any lighting or sound aspects that may be included at the appropriate times.

Festival takedown takes place Monday, July 13th Artists are highly encouraged to camp Sunday night at Stable Studios after the Festival concludes and help take down Monday.


We look forward to Breathing with you!!
