The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation is seeking Visitor Experience Survey Volunteers. The Visitor Experience Survey Volunteer will collect the visitor feedback that contributes to the development of future museum initiatives through the dissemination of Visitor Experience Surveys. The surveys are conducted daily, providing the museum with general demographic information, as well as visitor perceptions on a range of topics.
If you are interested in facilitating interactions from a global audience, please fill out the Visitor Service Volunteer application form (found here: https://www.guggenheim.org/careers/volunteers) and send to vsvolunteer@guggenheim.org, along with your resume. A minimum commitment of 2 hours a week for 1 year is required.
Founded in 1937, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation is dedicated to promoting the understanding and appreciation of art, primarily of the modern and contemporary periods, through exhibitions, education programs, research initiatives, and publications. The Guggenheim network that began in the 1970s when the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, was joined by the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice, has since expanded to include the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (opened 1997) and the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi (currently in development). Looking to the future, the Guggenheim Foundation continues to forge international collaborations that take contemporary art, architecture, and design beyond the walls of the museum. More information about the foundation can be found at guggenheim.org.

Description
What Is Learning Through Art?
Learning Through Art (LTA), an artist residency program, cultivates student creativity by designing sustained, process-oriented art projects that support learning across the curriculum. The program sends experienced teaching artists into New York City public schools, where they collaborate with classroom teachers to develop and facilitate art projects integrated into the school curriculum. During the 20-week in-school residencies, participating students examine, discuss, and create works of art. Visits to the Guggenheim support the residencies, offering new insights into art and challenging students to think critically about art and ideas. At the end of the residency, selected student works are exhibited in the annual A Year with Children exhibition held at the Guggenheim Museum.
Learning Through Art was founded in 1970 by Natalie K. Lieberman in response to the elimination of art and music programs from New York City public schools. Over the past 40 years, LTA has served over 100,000 students from diverse economic and cultural backgrounds in all five boroughs of New York City.
