Volunteer with OFA

Love our Festival? Volunteer today!

Over 300 volunteers work (some even year-round) to ensure that the Oconomowoc Festival of the Arts is an enjoyable and profitable experience for participating artists. Exhibitors consistently praise our team of volunteers throughout this two-day event. 

Volunteer duties can range from one-hour time commitments during the festival itself, to assisting with preparations for the festival at various points throughout the year. Jobs range from the dirty (think: trash management) to the sophisticated (think: fundraising and publicity). Rest assured, we have a job for any interest and skill level!

No matter their role, festival volunteers seem to collectively enjoy the chance to have a hand in bringing a fantastic flagship event to the city each year. Oh, and we make great friends in the process!

If you would like to help with the Festival, please contact us or sign up for the upcoming festival HERE
