Believe it or not, another Musikfest season is already on its way. Volunteer sign-ups will open on Wednesday, April 1 for anyone who has volunteered at Musikfest for 20 years or more. All other volunteers will be able to sign up beginning Wednesday, April 15.

This month, we’re thrilled to shine the Volunteer Spotlight on Jo Ann Grap! Since joining us in 2019, Jo Ann has become an invaluable part of the ArtsQuest community. She’s continued to grow her involvement through the Ambassador Program and even stepped into leadership by shadowing Site Supervisors across multiple Platzes during last year’s Musikfest. 

We’re kicking off the new year by shining the spotlight on Amanda Clark! Since joining us in 2024, Amanda has become an integral part of our volunteer team, serving as a regular usher in the Musikfest Café, joining and completing our ArtsQuest Ambassador program, and most recently shadowing as a House Manager at the Wind Creek Steel Stage during Musikfest! 

After being with ArtsQuest for seven years, I am excited to announce that I have been named the next Executive Director of Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks! I am grateful to have been chosen, and look forward to taking this next step toward fulfilling our mission to make the arts accessible to the entire community.  

Another successful Christkindlmarkt is in the books! Thank you to everyone who dedicated time and energy to spreading holiday cheer.

Bill Watson has been a cornerstone of Musikfest since day one, 1984! Yes, you read that right: he’s volunteered at every single Musikfest since its inception. Bill is truly one of the legends behind what has grown into the largest non-gated free music festival in the United States. Volunteers like Bill, who were there from the start, are the reason this incredible event has become what it is today.
