Volunteer

The Kamloops Arts Council relies heavily on its volunteers.  From the 50 or more volunteers needed for Art in the Park – one of our annual events which sees more than 30,000 people through Riverside Park on Canada Day – to ongoing volunteers who work behind the scenes stuffing envelopes and making buttons, the KAC couldn’t do without them.

Sponsoring a Kamloops Arts Council program, festival or exhibition is a great way to enhance your company’s visibility and gain “social capital.” A thriving local arts and culture scene is a crucial part of a healthy community, contributing to liveability, economic development, tourism, and much more.
