Houston's iconic 3-day outdoor fine art festival is back - showcasing the works of over 200 artists from around the world, attracting over 20,000 attendees each year, and operated almost completely by local community members!
While festival-goers can enjoy fine art, live music, local food trucks, family crafting activities, and more, Nonprofit Partners like Fresh Arts can earn critical funding based on the number of volunteers we help recruit.

Deadline to sign up: Monday, September 8
Volunteering at the festival is a great way to get outside, see amazing art from around the world, socialize, gain community services hours, and even resume experience.
All volunteers will receive a commemorative t-shirt designed by this year's featured artist, John Ballard, which grants free access to the entire 3-day festival.
Every volunteer who signs up through the Fresh Arts form helps us get closer to earning critical funds that support our mission of empowering Houston artists through year-round services, programs, and initiatives. Thank you for signing up to make a difference!
