Calling all volunteers: Nunavut arts festival wants you

Nunavut’s Artcirq circus and acrobatics company performed for a packed house at the Nakasuk School gymnasium in 2013 as part of that year’s 10th anniversary Alianait Arts Festival in Iqaluit. This year’s festival runs from June 26 to July 1 and organizers are looking for volunteers. (FILE PHOTO)

The annual Alianait Arts Festival is fast approaching — and those who put it together every year are hoping to lure volunteers back from previous years and entice new ones to get involved.

Organizers will hold a volunteer rally at the Francophone Centre on Thursday, June 11, from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Come join the party, hear some live music, and find out what you can do during the six-day festival, June 26 to July 1: that’s the message from Alianait.

“Volunteering for Alianait is a great way to meet awesome artists, other members of the community and participate in the arts,” said executive director, Healther Daley, in a June 5 news release.
