Strike! Afterparty: Everybody loves to go to the party, but we're looking for those special sickos who like to clean up after even more. Join the strike crew and help make LILApalooza 2025 history, literally, by helping us break it down at the end of the event. Aside from a feeling of enormous accomplishment and virtue, there'll be an incentive for you (probably pizza and a La Croix and any discarded treats you can find). The strike committee has one rule: NO FLAKES! Please only sign up if you're willing to commit to this for real.
Art Gallery: We’re looking for volunteers to help with the initial setup of the art gallery on May 12, including decorating the space, hanging artworks and signage, and setting up refreshments for the Grand Opening. The Grand Opening will take place on May 13, before LILApalooza. We’ll need a few volunteers that day to greet guests, direct them to the QR code for the auction, and encourage bidding. We do not need additional help during LILApalooza, but we may need support with striking the gallery afterward—either later that day or on Monday. This includes moving artworks to safe storage, taking down decorations, and restoring the room to its original setup.
