Volunteer with us

Deptford X has a small core team, so we're always looking for volunteers to assist us throughout the year!

Founded in 1998 as an artist-led project rooted in Deptford’s creative communities, Deptford X has grown to become one of the UK’s leading festivals of contemporary art.

Whether you have an interest in visual arts, you’d like to learn new skills or share your skills with us, we would love for you to get involved. By joining the team, you’ll be helping us deliver an event that has been going strong for over two decades!

For internships / placements / adhoc volunteering oppertunities please contact admin@deptfordx.org
