The Chattanooga Festival of Black Arts & Ideas (CFBA&I) is a community-driven, all-volunteer organization that celebrates Black creativity, culture, and heritage. We’re excited to announce that our Festival Series is expanding and we need YOU to help bring these cultural celebrations to life!
Why Volunteer?

Gain Experience: Volunteer roles range from event coordination, hospitality, set-up and break-down, to social media support—great for building new skills!
Be Part of Something Bigger: Help us celebrate Black culture, foster creativity, and create meaningful connections.
We Welcome Volunteers from All Backgrounds! While our festivals highlight and honor Black culture, you do not have to be Black to volunteer. We value diversity and encourage everyone to be a part of this collective effort to strengthen and celebrate our community.
