The Art Gallery of Western Australia needs volunteers!
The Art Gallery of Western Australia is excited to present the exclusive exhibition
Peggy Guggenheim: A Collection in Venice from 9 October 2010 to 31 January 2011
and is looking for volunteers to help make this event an unforgettable experience!
What we are looking for:
We require fit and healthy volunteers who are happy to commit either a half or full day per
week, for the duration of the exhibition, during the Gallery’s opening hours: Wednesday to
Monday 10am-5pm.
What you will be doing:
There are two separate roles:
1. Assisting our Front of House staff with general Reception duties, including answering
general questions, cloaking and providing information about our exhibitions and public
programs. Helpful, friendly, diplomatic and informative people are required for this task.
2. Meeting and greeting: a role for people with outgoing and friendly personalities who will
meet and greet our visitors, answer general questions about the exhibition, direct them to
the ticket counter and audio tours and hand out promotional and educational material.
We will also be conducting a feedback survey and you may be required to encourage
participation and assist the public with this. You’ll need to be friendly and personable,
and be able to communicate with a diverse and wide range of people.
What are your benefits?
You will be making a real difference to our visitors’ experience, while learning about
Peggy Guggenheim and her collection and being involved in this exciting event. You will
make new friends and be engaging with the public in a meaningful way. You will also have
access to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection exhibition, be provided with a stylish
Guggenheim exhibition t-shirt, and undergo a brief training session.
Please send us an email describing the days / hours / times
you can commit to and which role you would prefer, to:
