Volunteers can help in so many ways! Below is a list of roles needed to support the festival. Please fill out the form below if you're interested!
For every 10 hours accrued, volunteers may choose to receive one of the following benefits: a 1 year CPAC membership, 25% off a class, or free use of CPAC's darkroom or digital lab for 4 hours.
Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older.
Portfolio Review Volunteers
Month of Photography Portfolio Reviews will take place Friday, March 17 – Saturday, March 18 at The Curtis Hotel. Working in four-hour shifts, Portfolio Review volunteers help keep our event running smoothly by keeping time, greeting photographers at the check-in table, answering questions, and other tasks as needed. If you’ve never participated in professional reviews but would like to in the future, this is a great opportunity to learn about the event before you make a commitment.
Event Photographers/Videographers
We need 2-3 photographers who can help us document key events throughout the festival, such as Portfolio Reviews, exhibition openings, and other events. We also welcome video footage of festival highlights for documentation and promotion purposes.
Event Volunteers
Event volunteers assist in a number of ways, from greeting visitors to tracking attendance, managing refreshments, monitoring the gallery, and helping to break down equipment after events. Volunteers will be needed at a number of events throughout the festival, such as exhibition openings and the Portfolio Walk at McNichols Civic Center.
Social Media Ambassadors
Social media is our favorite way to share the festival experience from Denver, Colorado. We’re looking for 2-3 people with proven social media skills who can help show festival followers what a great time they can have at MOP Denver. You’ll cover our lectures, exhibition openings, free events, and more!
General Support
We need help preparing materials for exhibitions, including wall labels, caption sheets, and more. We’re looking for assistance with at least two exhibitions. Additionally, we will need to deliver promotional materials like the printed festival guide to venues around town.
