Please select which volunteer opportunities you are interested in:
DOCENT TOURS - Weekdays and Saturdays (10:00 AM - 4:00 PM); 1-2 hour guided tour of exhibits for groups of all ages. During tours, BMoA Docents share information about the exhibitions on display as well as ask + answer questions and have discussions about the art on display with visitors. Docent training occurs the Friday immediately following the exhibit opening from 9:00-11:00AM. Add option for wanting to work with children, adults, or both.
GALLERY GUIDE - Gallery Guides are used during large events and free admission days. Gallery Guides not only help us protect the art on display but also are encouraged to interact with guests about the work on display. If you enjoy conversations about art and have a keen eye, and if you don’t mind being on your feet, this is a wonderful opportunity for you to help BMoA. It is also a great primer for those interested in becoming a BMoA Docent!
