We're seeking volunteers to help us produce Art of the City Street Fest 2015. Art of the City is a day long, indoor and outdoor, multidisciplinary arts festival at the Tashiro Kaplan Artist Lofts (low income housing for artists) in Pioneer Square, Seattle. It features live music, staged and impromptu performances, interactive sculpture and installation, live painting and making, and exhibitions by independent curators and artist groups. Inside the building, artist residents, studio tenants, and galleries open up their doors, providing the opportunity for extended interaction and engagement.
Volunteers are needed for planning and organization, and on the day of the event to greet the public, conduct tours, and provide security inside and outside. Training for event day volunteers is provided on site one to two weeks in advance of the event.
We love our volunteers and so do our sponsors, so expect some great perks. Want to have a really fun day and support independent artists in Seattle? Join us!More opportunities with Tashiro Kaplan Tenants Association

Mission Statement
The Tashiro Kaplan Tenants Association represents the current tenants of the Tashiro Kaplan Artist Lofts in their efforts to organize and promote cultural, educational, and other types of non-commercial events in the building and community, and to act as a point of contact and tenant advocate in any possible disputes with building management or ownership.
Description
The Tashiro Kaplan Artists Lofts (TK) opened in June of 2004 to provide 50 units of affordable housing and creative space to artists and their families, as well as over 25 commercial arts related. Since that time, the TK has become a vital, and vibrant, center for the arts in downtown Seattle.
The Tashiro Kaplan Tenants Association organizes and promotes cultural activities in the Tashiro Kaplan Artist Lofts building and in the Pioneer Square neighborhood. The TKTA supports special event productions such as the TK's annual Open House, and a variety of activities that take place in conjunction with the monthly Pioneer Square Artwalk. In 2014, the TKTA produced a first of its kind Art Street Fair in honor of the building's 10th Anniversary. With broad support and encouragement from the community, we decided to make Art of the City an annual event.
