Join the crew to support sustainability and waste avoidance at the Vancouver Arts & Music Festival, Aug. 4-6, 2023!

The inaugural edition of this event will be held at Esther Short Park and the surrounding area, in downtown Vancouver, WA. There will be a number of Concerts/Performances, Art installations, Vendors, and Food Stalls (and no beer garden, thankfully!). The City of Vancouver is striving to minimize the environmental impact of this festival with the support of Elysium Events, who will be managing all trash and recycling.

Elysium is seeking crew members in support of this effort. Principal tasks include monitoring bins, top-sorting to keep recycling and compost free of contamination, changing out full bags, answering questions from attendees and vendors, and keeping the area clean and free of litter. Gloves and all other necessary materials will be provided. $18.50/hr.

If interested, please email Dave Muller, Elysium's Sustainable Events Director, to schedule a brief interview: muller.david@gmail.com. Please include your availability, contact info, and any relevant experience.
