Our February 2013 winning project WRECK CITY: An Epilogue for 809 is slated to start on Friday, April 19, and things are slowly ramping up.
Entirely self-initiated and self-funded, the project involves over 100 local artists, musicians, performers and curators, and an initiative this massive could always use a bit more help.
If you'd like to help out, there are a couple of ways you can do so.
First, the WRECK CITY team needs volunteers of all sorts to help pull the event off. They're looking for enthusiastic and reliable people to assist with everything from gallery-sitting, tour hosts to guide audiences safely through the project, assistants to help the artists complete their work and support with cleaning up the spaces for hazard-free public interaction. Volunteer dates range from April 13 to 27, with the majority of volunteers needed between April 19 to 27.
If you're interested in helping out as a WRECK CITY volunteer, e-mail your expression of interest and your contact information (including e-mail address and phone number) to wreckcitycalgary@gmail.com by Friday, April 12 and make sure to put "RE: Volunteer for Wreck City" in the subject heading to make sure your message doesn't get missed.
Second, if you can't afford to volunteer your time, but can afford to throw a few dollars their way (especially in return for some really cool rewards!), check out WRECK CITY's project page on Calgary's culture crowd funding platform InvestYYC. Every little bit will help make the event even more awesome, and InvestYYC will also provide matching funds for any donations totalling $100 or more. You can also use the site to pledge time to the project as a volunteer as well.
WRECK CITY runs from April 19 to 27. For more information, make sure to check out their website at wreckcity.wordpress.com and give them a follow on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
