Support The Arts - Sign Up To Volunteer

For 27 years, Arts on the Avenue has been a staple arts event for the Town of Ladysmith. Welcoming over 7,000 visitors both local and from out of town, this event showcases the wonderful talent of local artists and the kindness of peoples who make our island so enjoyable to visit. This event is not possible without the dedicated volunteers who spend the day helping out in various areas from traffic control to street attendants to activity volunteers and more.
We hope you will help us continue to make this event successful!
Whether you want to be involved in the busiest part of the day or quietest or if you are looking for a more physical volunteer job or more relaxed, we got something for everyone to participate.
