CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
========================
NYCEMF needs volunteers to help run the festival! If you're interested,
please contact
tra...@nycemf.org or

Volunteers get perks, including total access to the festival for those who
stay with us a day or more. We need help in all the theaters, with
installations and with our social net/documentation effort.
Cut through the lines, get some sweat equity!
Put your mark on the execution of the festival.
WE THANK YOU in advance.
NOTE :: All staff at NYCEMF are volunteers. With the exception of
featured musicians, no one is paid. We break even if we're lucky. We
