Share your love of art in TAM Studio. Guide visitors of all ages through hands-on art making activities inspired by artworks on view in the Museum. TAM Studio volunteers also help maintain the art supplies and tidy the workstations as needed.
Successful TAM Studio attendants want to share their enthusiasm for art with people of all ages. They understand the different stages of development for various age groups and can communicate effectively with visitors. These volunteers have an eye for detail and are self-motivated.
As a volunteer, you’ll explore new areas of interest, meet stimulating people, get involved with Tacoma’s cultural community, attend social and educational events, and learn marketable skills.
Volunteer hours are available on both a regular and on-call basis during weekdays and weekends. Most opportunities are during the day, but some evening hours are also available.
