About Public Sweat:

Public Sweat is the latest project from the team at Art Spin, a not-for-profit arts organization who combine exceptional art and unique experiences in unexpected public spaces. The event runs from March 15th-April 23rd at Harbourfront Centre, Toronto.

 

Public Sweat is a fusion of art, sauna culture, and sweat bathing. This cultural experience is inspired by sauna and global sweat bathing traditions, and their shared values of community, connection and care. Participants will have the opportunity to bask inside artist-designed saunas and sweat bathing structures, rotate through thermal cycles, and explore numerous artworks, as they rejuvenate.

 

Our team is fueled by a sense of curiosity and discovery, and our aim is to create an experience that is approachable by a multitude of people –diverse bodies and experiences– to share in creating a joyful experience centered around art, social connection and care.

 

Job Description:

Art Spin is seeking a small group of Public Sweat Attendants and one Public Sweat Attendant Supervisor to join our team and help facilitate our goal to bring art and sauna culture together in a unique experience. The ideal candidate for this position excels in a fast-paced environment, has good people skills, and has an interest in or enthusiasm for sauna/sweat bathing, art, and culture.

 

Reporting to the Box Office & Volunteer Manager, the Public Sweat Attendants will be responsible for ticketing/reception service, merch and bar sales, and maintaining the cleanliness of both the indoor and outdoor spaces. Additionally, the Public Sweat Attendant Supervisor will have added responsibilities including monitoring guest emails, processing exchanges, and overseeing the onsite team of both staff and volunteers when the Box Office & Volunteer Manager is off-site.

 

These positions will require a commitment of approximately 30-35 hrs per week between March 14 - April 23 2023 and will also have a mandatory training session in the week prior to opening (exact date TBA). Public Sweat is open to the public during these dates between Tuesday - Sunday with public hours ranging from 11am-11pm.

 

While previous experience in a role like this is an asset, we strive to build a team that reflects the diversity of the community we work in and encourage applications from traditionally underrepresented groups such as women, visible minorities, Indigenous peoples, people identifying as LGBTQ2SI, and people with disabilities.
