There will be a list of people who have paid in advance. Payments can be taken in: Cash, Check (made out to “Cabot Arts”) or Credit. The Front Gate Manager will brief all ticketing volunteers on how to use the Square payment system with the iPad. Customers will each be handed their wristband, and offered a program guide. Please inform customers that they’ll need to display their wristband upon re-entering. Please be mindful of those who are “re-entering” after having exited the Site. They will have to show you their valid wristband.

 

Artist Hospitality: You will be based in the "great room," downstairs, in the Schoolhouse, and the “Backstage Tent” next to the stage. Direction will taken from hospitality coordinator, Jaime Pransky. Duties will mostly include making sure the food and beverage offerings are stocked and clean.

The artists themselves will be in charge of laying out their merchandise to sell.  Your job is to be present at the table and to facilitate any cash and check sales while the artists are not present. (Money should be kept in the folder and envelopes provided.) The artists have been asked to be available after their performances and will likely be able to make sales with thier own credit card system.
