Do you like working with artists, teachers and students? Union County’s annual Teen Arts Festival provides an opportunity for volunteers to get involved.
The Union County Teen Arts Festival, sponsored by the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders through the Office of Cultural and Heritage Affairs in the Department of Parks and Community Renewal, is a two-day celebration of the arts held annually at Union County College in Cranford. The event, scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, March 26 and 27, is open to all students from public, charter, private and parochial middle and high schools in Union County.
“Nearly 3,500 students with a staff of 55 professional artists participate in performances, critiquing seminars, master classes and workshops in every discipline – visual art, music, creative writing, theater and dance,” said Freeholder Chairman Linda Carter. “Volunteers are needed to assist artists with workshops, manage performance sites and staff information stations. We appreciate the invaluable assistance of our county residents with this exciting program.”
