Description

Parrsboro Creative is looking to stay active and involved in the community through the winter months and beyond through events and gatherings, and the office would deeply benefit from the help of volunteers who are energetic, well-connected in the Parrsboro Shore community, and able to assist with event production tasks.

Parrsboro Creative is a not-for-profit art organization located in a growing rural community on the spectacular Minas Basin & Bay of Fundy and the largest plein air festival organizer in Canada, awarding cash and product prizes to winning competitors from all over North America. Parrsboro Creative also runs the Cultural Campus from May to October annually, partnering with affiliate organizations to offer seasonal, cultural courses and workshops in various artistic disciplines.

Key opportunities for engagement include, but are not limited to:
