Silence thrives because of the people who believe in the power of sound, creativity, and community. Whether you’re an artist, a listener, or simply someone who values vibrant local culture, there are many ways to help sustain and grow your favourite local intimate arts venue.
Volunteer
Silence is powered by dedicated volunteers who bring their time, energy, and talents to our events and daily operations.
Volunteering is a great way to connect with artists, meet new people, and contribute to a unique cultural hub in your community.
We welcome volunteers to help with:
- Event Support: working the door, staffing the café, running live sound, or helping with set-up and tear-down.
- Behind the Scenes: administrative support such as grant writing, social media, website maintenance, cleaning/organizing, and marketing.
Whether you can commit a few hours a month or take on a regular role, your contribution makes a real difference.
Interested? Reach out to us at info@silencesounds.ca to learn more about current volunteer opportunities.
