The Penola Coonawarra Arts Festival relies on a team of volunteers to make it happen. We’re a diverse bunch – there are educators, child and youth workers, sales and small business owners, marketing and pr practitioners, winemakers, graphic designers, retirees, artists and musicians. If you’re passionate about the arts, community, music, wine, food and learning – and keen to have a whole lot of fun – we’d love to hear from you!
