🎨 SUBMIT YOUR ART FOR THE BIG SCREEN AT THE ART DEPARTMENT 2026 | CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF PLAYGROUNDS 🎨

This is also a chance of being a part of this year's anniversary edition even if you won't be able to physically join us!

đź’ĄAre you our SUPERHERO VOLUNTEER? (TAD & PIFF)? đź’Ą

Or do you know somebody that could lend us a helping hand for The Art Department 2026 (15-17 April) and Playgrounds International Film Festival 2026 (15-19 April), both in Eindhoven. We’re searching for enthusiastic volunteers that don’t mind mixing work&fun and could help us in the process.

Think:
➡️ welcoming our guests and audience and being our most wonderful host
➡️ keeping an eye and helping our audience explore our exhibition, market and installations
➡️ assistance with ticketing
➡️ putting your make-it-happen skills to test as an assistant producer
➡️ being a runner or driver and ensuring everything runs smoothly
➡️ making the magic happen a.k.a helping with the build-up / break- down

What you get in return:
✨expand your network within the industry
✨insights about how we create one of the most exciting digital arts festival in the world

We take care of our own! You’ll work and eat with the PLGR-crew and artists. For every day or half-days that you work, you get an entrance to enjoy the event in your free time.

Interested? Make sure you fill out our volunteers form via the link in bio! Once signed up, you will receive a welcome email within a week with all you need to know about volunteering with Playgrounds.
