Are you interested in art and the Gallery’s exhibitions?  Do you like to work with people in a social learning environment?  Join our friendly and dedicated team of Gallery Volunteers.

Ambassador Program
Gallery Ambassadors work in our lobby greeting and orienting visitors on exhibitions and programs, and also special events such as Opening Receptions and FUSE.

Art Agent Volunteers
Every Saturday Art Agent Volunteers work together with the Art Agents to facilitate children’s early encounters with art. Bold, whimsical and funny volunteers are needed!

The Making Place Volunteers
The Making Place features both collaborative and independent art activities. Program instruction includes materials and instruction for all kinds of art making.

Docent Progam
A challenging and dynamic six-month training program prepares volunteer docents to lead school tours through the exhibitions. If you enjoy talking about art and working with young people, have an open mind and can make a two-year commitment, this program may be for you.

Tour Liaison/ Workshop Assistant
Tour Liaisons welcome school groups and prepare them for their visit to the Gallery as well as assist during art-making workshops for students. Tour Liaison/Workshop Assistant shifts are three hours long on weekday mornings and afternoons.

Gallery Store
Volunteers in the Gallery Store help organize the display of new products, assist visitors and support the retail sales staff.

Concert Liaison
Volunteers greet and direct the public to noon-hour concert series scheduled on select Fridays.

Other Opportunities
Volunteers also work in our Library and in the Marketing, Development, Registration and Photography Departments.
