The Powderhorn Art Fair is the smallest and most pastoral
of the "Big Three" art fairs on the weekend of
Aug. 7-8. For two days each summer,white tents dot the tree
shaded landscape around Powderhorn Park bringing
individuals from all over the country together to enjoy an
abundance of creativity and skill that flows through the
artists participating in the Powderhorn Art Fair. Music and
food in abundance.

SVTC volunteers have an opportunity to be a critical part
of that experience. The Fair needs your help as Artist
Support/Information Hosts to answer easy questions from the
public and assist the Exhibitors by covering their booths
while they take breaks.

The volunteers will work in small groups covering a section
of the Fair. There are snacks and beverages available for
you in the Artists Lounge and ample opportunity before or
after your shift to see the entire Art Fair.

If you are an outgoing person who enjoys spending part of
the day visiting with some really wonderful people,
we'd like your help.
