Opportunity Description:

WHAT IS NIGHT LIGHT? Step into a world of mesmerizing light, art, and live performance as a volunteer at the Night Light Festival! Over three nights, we’re aiming to transport Victoria Park into a space full of creativity and light. Immerse yourself in projection mapped architecture, captivating light-art installations and a variety of interactive installations too. This inaugural edition is all about providing a platform for local artists – from newcomers to seasoned talents – to showcase their imaginative creations. As the autumnal equinox approaches and longer nights beckon, we’re illuminating the night as never seen before. Our collaboration with esteemed partners, Big Art, What’s Good Calgary and Social Studies Lab set us apart from other events. Together, we’re hoping to make a mark on Calgary’s event landscape, introducing the city’s very first festival of this nature. As a volunteer, you’ll be an integral part of this groundbreaking experience, guiding patrons to their moments of awe, fascination, and new ways of thinking.   WHAT WILL I DO? As a Night Light Ambassador, you will be an essential addition to the smooth-running of the event and have the opportunity to engage with all those who come to wander. With multiple info tents to run, and many ‘nodes’ to keep in check, we have plenty of opportunities for you to volunteer whilst enjoying the festival. Get in touch for more information. P.S Dinner on us! We’ll get you a gift card as a thanks for your contribution to the event. Join us in making the Night Light Festival an extraordinary journey for all who seek to discover the magic within the night. Your commitment as a volunteer will help us make Night Light the art, imagination, and wonder.
