FotoFest 2012 Meeting Place Portfolio Review
Welcome to FotoFest’s spring 2012 season! FotoFest is an international non-profit arts and education organization looking for interested and reliable people 18 years of age and older to participate in our 2012 Biennial Meeting Place Portfolio Review. Volunteer opportunities include everything from giving guided tours to translation and workshop setup. It is not necessary to have an art or photography background – all we ask for is your enthusiasm, support, generosity, and willingness to learn new things. By volunteering, you will have the opportunity to learn about photography and meet others with similar interests.
Please join us on January 12th from 5PM-8PM at Boheme for Cultured Cocktails! You will have the chance to find out more about our programs while meeting staff members and other volunteers.
Benefits of becoming a volunteer at FotoFest:
• Learn more about photography and art
• Volunteer Nights: Special exhibition tours just for volunteers held the Wednesday evening before Thursday exhibition openings
• Private gatherings to meet and socialize with other volunteers
• Opportunity to join FotoFest's First Look Collectors Program at a discount rate (available after 8 volunteer shifts)
Feel free to contact Marta Sánchez Philippe at press2@fotofest.org or 713-223-522 x16 if any of the following volunteer positions interest you:
