Volunteer for the 2016 Monster Drawing Rally

Our famous live drawing event is right around the corner!

On Friday, June 24, 2016, Southern Exposure hosts the Monster Drawing Rally – this year at Minnesota Street Project! Picture a room of artists, all furiously producing artwork in one-hour shifts, crowds of people watching the creative process and vying to buy the finished works. It's a fantastically fun event, but it requires a ton of volunteer positions to make everything run smoothly. Here's where you come in – email Olivia at [email protected] to sign up for one (or more) volunteer shifts. Thanks for all your help!

Front Door Team: Step right up! Front table volunteers, armed with hand-stamps and cash boxes, will manage the front door and control the crowd with bright smiles.
8:15 – 11:00 PM (3 people)

Cashiers: You handle all the cash and card sales over the course of the night. You're quick with numbers and a smile, thanking the art lovers for their support.
8:15 – 11:00 PM (2 people)

Membership Reps: Do you love SoEx? We need you to explain the awesome benefits of being a member of our amazing arts community, and help encourage attendees to join SoEx as members.
8:15 – 11:00 PM (1 person)

Baggers: Calling all speedy and careful art baggers! After documentation, you carefully place new works into bags for the sellers and address any of the artists' immediate needs as you float around the busy tables.
5:45 – 8:30 PM (1 person)
7:45 – 11:00 PM (1 person)

Sellers: Freshly-minted drawings move from the documentation table to the wall as soon as they dry. You encourage the crowds to buy! buy! buy!, and use well-established methods (pick a card, any card) to mitigate bidding wars.
5:45 – 8:30 PM (2 people)
8:15 – 11:00 PM (3 people)

Maintenance Crew: Make sure Minnesota Street Project stays in tip-top shape and the event is running smoothly. You may be asked to help out in other areas at the drop of a hat; flexibility and a cheerful disposition much appreciated!
6:00 – 9:00 PM (2 people)
9:00 PM – 12:00 AM (4 people)
