Volunteer

The Burchfield Penney Art Center is best served by the active participation of individuals from throughout the community. Our volunteers - many of whom are artists and all who love art - represent an extremely valuable resource for the museum, the staff, and everyone who visits the Burchfield Penney. The museum accepts and encourages volunteers to assist with a variety of activities within the museum.

Volunteer placement is subject to position and space availability.
Positions include but are not limited to:

• Administrative support
• Museum greeters
• Special events
• Museum Store assistance
• Curatorial and archival assistance
• Educational programs
• Committee involvement

Volunteers are recruited with the intent of broadening and expanding volunteer involvement in the museum, and without regard to age*, disability, gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation. Volunteers may be recruited through either an interest in specific duties or through a general interest in volunteering, which will later be matched with a specific function. *The minimum age requirement is 18 years of age.
