I volunteered to be a Gatekeeper - waht do I do? 

The primary responsibility of a Gatekeeper is to ensure no one leaves the festival with alcohol. Many Gatekeepers are asked general questions about the festival, so familiarize yourself with the general layout, restroom locations, food and beverage areas and artist areas. Maps are available at kiosks and the Artist Hospitality Tent. 

What do I say to people unhappy about prices or requesting money back ? 

Please remind festival attendees that Art In The Square raises funds for charitable organizations all over North Texas.  ALL of the profits are donated to beneficiaries chosen by the Southlake Womens Club. The entire event is 100% organized and run by volunteers. No refunds.

What if no one replaces me for my shift?

Please contact one of the volunteer coordinators and they will send a replacement ASAP. Contact information will be provided when you check in.
