form: VOLUNTEERs – Virginia Street Art Festival

The Virginia Street Art Festival (VSAF) is a non-profit that beautifies urban spaces with legal outdoor murals and other art. We are volunteer-powered, but we need information before beginning. Your data will be kept private and will not be used for fundraising. Unless otherwise arranged, our activity will be in Waynesboro, Virginia.

This is both an information form and, if we approve you, an agreement. (Applying constitutes agreement to comply with VSAF conditions as they appear here and as they may be amended in the future.)
