The welcoming crew is made up of Dawson residents who love meeting people, showing people our amazing community, and are passionate about ensuring visiting artists, musicians, & presenters feel welcome, cared for, and connected during their stay.
Activities of the Welcoming Crew may be:
- Artist Host - work with staff to connect with visiting artists before they arrive, plan some fun things to do while they are visiting (such as giving a town tour, meeting for meals, driving up the dome)
- Green Room - mainly for performing artists, this involves making our 'green room' less workspace and more 'chill' space
- Artist Meals - mainly for performing artists, this involves preparing meals/snacks for the green room area using KIAC's commercial kitchen. Supplies paid for by KIAC.
This is a committee made of up a roster of folks who can be part of a 'buddy crew (2-3 people)' for visiting artists when they arrive. We'll reach out the committee members prior to the artist's arrival, and will have folks step forward as they have the capacity.
