Volunteering with PDXWLF means seeing the art before everything is opened to the public, meeting the artists and learning about what they create, trading funny festival experience stories, and making great connections within the local arts community.

This free-for-all festival is supported annually by generous donors like you. Join our Lumen’s Circle, ask your company to become a corporate sponsor, and check if your company has a matching donation program! We literally cannot do this without you!
