Volunteer
None of the day to day activity at Exeter Phoenix could be accomplished without a passionate team of volunteers and staff to make it happen. We’re always looking for new team members to get involved.
‘A wonderful opportunity to mix with like minded creative people and support the creative and diverse range of work provided by artists from all over the UK.’
