Help us run a fantastic fun family festival this summer!

27 Apr 2019

bOing! International Family Festival hosts a unique programme of the best creative experiences for children to share with their families. Created by Gulbenkian, bOing! takes place on the beautiful University of Kent campus in Canterbury and showcases work by leading UK and international companies, artists and performers.  It is so exciting that bOing! is growing every year, but it means that we need your help to make it happen.

Be a bOing! festival Steward

A great opportunity to work with Architects of Air, stewarding for bOing!

A luminarium is a space that visitors are invited to enter for a sensory experience of light and colour. It is a space for relaxation and contemplation.

The creative vision underlying the Architects of Air luminaria comes from a desire to create monumental works whose purpose is to generate a sense of wonder through the particular phenomenon of luminous colour. The inspirations are pure forms of geometry & nature & spiritual architecture from around the world.

The stewards staffing a luminarium have a varied role. Opening doors, taking tickets, helping with the cleaning, but more importantly there is the relationship with the public, discussing their experience & answering their questions.

Rates of Pay: National Minimum Wage.

Dates: Friday 23rd (4pm – 8pm), Saturday 24th & Sunday 25th August 2019 (9am – 5pm)

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
