ORGNISERS of next month\u2019s Ballarat International Foto Biennale have put out the call for volunteer helpers.<\/p>\n
Set to run from 28 August to 24 October, the once every two-year celebration of photographic art is expected to attract nearly 40,000 people to the city over four weeks.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Biennale is bringing art to Ballarat and while our passports sit in the drawer, this year\u2019s event is a great way to bring new experiences into your life and be immersed in the world of photography for a short time,\u201d said festival director Fiona Sweet.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are many different ways you can help including volunteering as a gallery attendant or tour guide, hospitality provision, public program support, event installation and more.\u201d<\/p>\n
With so many people having moved to Ballarat since the last event in 2019, Ms Sweet said volunteering with the Biennale is a great way to get to know more people in town.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany of our ongoing volunteers say that being part of the Biennale helped them to find their people in Ballarat,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe warmly welcome anyone who has recently moved to Ballarat to join the team.\u201d<\/p>\n
