Be part of the magic of the Best of the Northwest Art Shows!

NW Art Alliance needs your helping hands!

Get the feel of an art show from behind the scenes, learn some new skills and be part of a great and rewarding experience!

The NW Art Alliance is a non-profit 501c3 corporation which runs on volunteer superpowers.

November 4 - 8th, 2026

Here are some examples of how you can help keep Seattle's biggest indoor art and fine craft show running:

Pre-show - November 4 and 5

• Help set up the event get things in order for show time!
• Get some exercise: mark booth locations for the artist booths.
• Set up exterior signage advertising the show and location
• Welcome and register artists, assist them as needed during set up.

Show Time - November 6 - 8 Day Time

• Welcome patrons and help guide them to the artists
• Support Ticket Sale process.
• Problem solve: do whatever needs doing to keep things going as a general assistant
• Greet the patrons as they enter the show
• Booth sit artists booths for them so they can take lunch and bathroom breaks
• Assist with keeping the venue clean and tidy.

Post Show - November 8 Evening

• "Strike" the show which means to help us break down the event - actually quite a quick process but we always could use a few strong hands.

All of these tasks are a great opportunity to add to your resume.

A great way to support community service and volunteer commitments.

No experience needed and smiles will be handed out daily :)
