Set up as a festival and conference, The Art Department focusses and celebrates the art and design process for film, animation and games.
As a volunteer for our fest, you get to enjoy a unique view behind-the-scenes alongside landing a hand to creating an incredible experience for our audience! Our festival & conference will once again feature internationally acclaimed artists, panels, sketching sessions, recruitment and portfolio reviews, exhibitions, art market, artist studios and many many more.
So what say you? Ready to be our Superhero and join the Playgrounds family?


As a PLGR-volunteer you will be landing us a hand with tasks like:
- welcoming our guests and audience and being our most wonderful host
- keeping an eye and helping our audience explore our exhibition, market and installations
- assistance with ticketing
- putting your make-it-happen skills to test as an assistant producer
- being a runner or driver and ensuring everything runs smoothly
- making the magic happen a.k.a helping with the build-up / break- down
Think of it as a wonderful chance to expand your network within the industry, connect with like-minded creatives, get to know the Playgrounds Team up, close & personal and gather insights about how we create one of the most exciting digital arts festival in the world!
