We Want You!

SEAF2025 is coming and we need volunteers to make the Festival and its associated events happen. From planning, to mounting the Festival and making it run smoothly, to basking in the afterglow when it’s all over, this is a group effort—and a great time. You’ll be surrounded by creative people and great stories. You’ll be more inspired and have more fun than any other volunteer opportunity you’ve ever had.

Our organization is an exciting, dynamic group of people working to advance an important cause. Thank you for being part of it. This wouldn’t be possible without you!

And did we mention…that there’s a lot of great erotic art and beautiful, talented, inspired people?

We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds, communities and abilities; however, this year we are only accepting volunteers over 21 years of age. We encourage all volunteers to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

We are currently in the process of revamping our volunteer registration system and will unveil it before volunteer shifts go live. In the meantime, If you  are a new volunteer, please sign up for the Volunteer Info Sessions here. If you have already worked for the festival, please wait until you receive the invitation to sign up in our new system.

Don’t hesitate to email makeseafgo@seaf.art or info@seaf.art with questions about volunteering. We are here to help you help the festival!

Matching Donations for Volunteer Hours: Ask Your Employer!

Have your volunteer hours go twice as far. Get a matching donation!

Many companies donate money for each hour one of their employees volunteers, and your employer might be one of them. Your volunteer hours with the Foundation could bring in a sizable donation from your workplace.

Simply check in with your human resources department to learn how — it’s usually quick and easy. We are a 501(c)(3) registered as Pan Eros Foundation and our EIN is 20-5824097. We would love it if you then designate your contribution to go to Seattle Erotic Art Festival.
