Each year, Paint Creek Center for the Arts partners with local 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations to manage the entrance gates at the Arts & Apples Festival®. A percentage of gate revenue will be disbursed among gate organizations (typically amounting to $1,500 -$1,700 benefiting each gate group’s designated organization). Gate group responsibilities include delicately soliciting donations, answering festival patrons concerns and monitoring patron counts.

Deadline: Applications for the 2022 Gate Groups are due by June 1, 2022
Acceptance & Publication: PCCA will notify all applying Gate Groups of their acceptance or non-acceptance by end of day June 8, 2022

Volunteer Requirements:

If your organization is selected you will need to have a designated, trained adult gate leader at the Festival during all shifts. You will also need a minimum of 5 adults at your gate at each shift. Volunteers 18 and under will not count towards your 5 adults. You may have persons ages 11-17 with a parent or guardian present, however, only working adults are counted as a filled volunteer spot.
