VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

If you are interested in any of the opportunities described below, please contact Chelsea Osborne at 802-257-0124, ext. 101 or office@brattleboromuseum.org.
Gallery Greeters/Monitors play a vital role in shaping the visitor’s experience of BMAC. Gallery greeters work regular or occasional shifts when BMAC is open to the public. Greeters work at the front desk, where they welcome visitors and handle admission, gift shop sales, and general inquiries. This is a great opportunity for a friendly, responsible “people-person.”
Docents are a key part of our education program. They work closely with the Education Curator to present guided tours and activities for students.
Event volunteers help ensure the success of BMAC’s many events, ranging from artist talks and concerts to domino topplings and dinner parties. Event volunteers assist with set up, clean up, decorations, food service, crowd management, artwork security, and much more.
Production volunteers assist with the installation and de-installation of exhibits, often working closely with artists and curators. Experience with art installation, painting, carpentry, and power tools is helpful.
Office volunteers work behind-the-scenes with BMAC’s administrative staff, helping with filing, mailings, organizing the BMAC archives, and much more. Computer skills are a plus!
