The ICA Tour Guides are a dynamic community of volunteers and key members of the Education Department with a shared interest in the art of our time. Individuals engage in sparking lively conversations while encouraging people of all ages to appreciate and make meaning from contemporary art and culture - without the artspeak.
The ICA Tour Guide Program is inviting enthusiastic, energetic museum-lovers to join the program. Individuals who enjoy conversing with a diverse population of museum visitors and who are passionate about art, creativity, and culture are encouraged to apply. No experience or expertise in art necessary. Guides must be comfortable speaking in public and be a willing lifelong learner with a rich range of personal and professional experiences to engage the public in dynamic and out-of-the-box creative conversations about works on view. Volunteer applications accepted through January 31, 2018.
Individuals selected for the Tour Guide program must be able to commit to a weekly 2 hours training session every Monday beginning March 5 th and ending on May 21, 2018 and be able to lead a minimum of four (4) tours per month attend. Complete requisite trainings for new exhibitions and required research in preparation for their tours.
If interested, please complete the application here. Please direct all questions to tours@icaboston.org. No phone calls please.

About Institute of Contemporary Art
Location:
955 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02115, US
Mission Statement
The Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) is the primary presenter of contemporary art in Boston. Founded in 1936, its mission is to share the pleasures of reflection, inspiration, provocation, and imagination that contemporary art offers through public access to art, artists, and the creative process.
Description
The ICA has continually presented to Boston audiences exhibitions of groundbreaking artists such as Oskar Kokoschka, Paul Gauguin, Andy Warhol, Bill Viola, and Ellen Gallagher. A similar philosophy brings artists outside the museum's walls through the ICA/Vita Brevis program that commissions temporary public projects in Boston neighborhoods. Educational offerings include in- and out-of-school programs for middle and high school students, free evening programming oriented to college and university students and adults, courses, family programs and scholarly symposia. In 2006, due the space limitations at its current facility, we will open a new museum on Boston Harbor that will triple the ICA's current exhibition space, provide an education center and performing arts theatre.
