The project

Tur Cos Ta Posibel, in partnership with ArtisA, is once again transforming San Nicolas into a hub of creativity for our annual Mural Festival and ArtWeek. From large-scale street murals to gallery exhibitions, art fashion shows, workshops, and live performances, this vibrant event celebrates artistic expression in the Art Capital of the Caribbean.

This year, we’re inviting volunteers to join us behind the scenes, helping make this festival a reality. Logistical setup and preparation are the primary tasks for all volunteers. Our goal is to ensure everyone contributes equitably to the festival’s most pressing tasks; mainly heavy lifting, cleaning, painting, and other physical work.

Key Volunteer Role: Logistics & Operations

Main Focus: Support the physical and logistical setup of the festival.

Responsibilities include:

Assisting with painting walls, prepping mural surfaces, and organizing supplies
Lifting and carrying materials, setting up furniture or equipment
Helping with general cleaning and site preparation
Supporting artists and team members with basic on-site needs
Performing outdoor tasks and other manual labor to prepare venues and public spaces

Who can apply?

Skills that the volunteer needs:

Physical Labor: Volunteers must be able to engage in manual labor for extended periods, including lifting, carrying, and outdoor work.
Work Hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (subject to change closer to the event)
Weather Readiness: Expect tropical heat — wear breathable, comfortable clothing (e.g., cotton or bamboo), bring a cap, and stay hydrated.

Accommodation and meals

Volunteers will stay in a shared community house in Pos Chiquito, near the main festival venues. Rooms are shared with 2–5 people. A food allowance will be provided via bank card, covering groceries and household needs. The house is fully equipped for self-catering and located just five minutes from the beach. Towels are provided. TCTP covers economy flights with hand luggage, and transport to the project. A welcome dinner and a closing meal are included to celebrate the beginning and end of the volunteering experience.
