Volunteer Opportunities at the Asheville Art Museum

East Wing:  With the recent addition of the Museum's new East Wing, we need volunteers to assist with greeting and directing Museum visitors, monitoring the New Media Gallery, as well as monitoring and keeping the new Art PLAYce well organized. This volunteer opportunity does not require skills for answering calls or using a computer.

North Wing:  In the Museum's North Wing, volunteers are needed to greet and orient guests, making sure that they have been properly signed in and have received a Museum sticker before exploring the upstairs galleries. North Wing volunteers are also needed to provide backup with

Central Visitor Services Desk:  This volunteer opportunity is perfect for the go-getter, outgoing personality type! Visitor Services volunteers proactively greet and interact with Museum guests, answering questions and providing our visitors with information about exhibitions on view and related Museum details. These volunteers will also answer phones, and sell tickets and Museum Shop merchandise. Cash handling and computer experience are a plus.
