The Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery is seeking volunteers ("Gallery Assistants") to assist in the day-to-day operations of the contemporary art gallery.
Gallery Assistants will help with the daily operations of the gallery, including maintaining current exhibitions on view (e.g. safeguarding artworks), answering the gallery’s phone, greeting and engaging with visitors and ensuring the gallery’s policies are upheld during exhibition and non-exhibition hours.
Volunteers are valued members of the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery team. Your volunteer efforts contribute to the successful operations of the gallery and visitor experience, and help further the gallery’s mission to be responsive to the human experience.
About Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery:
The Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery’s mission is to be responsive to the human experience.
Established in 1954, the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery is the longest running institution in Los Angeles devoted solely to exhibiting art. The gallery focuses on artists from Los Angeles - in particular underrepresented artists whose work may not otherwise have found a platform. Our exhibitions, educational and public programs aim to inspire conversation about the contemporary issues and ideas that resonate most with the people of Los Angeles.
Many local artists who have exhibited at the gallery have gone on to become fixtures of the international art world, including Eleanor Antin, John Baldessari, Mark Bradford, Vija Celmins, David Hammons, Barbara Kruger, Kerry James Marshall, Senga Nengudi, Catherine Opie and Ed Ruscha. Today, the gallery continues to build on this rich legacy, operating as a site of discovery for outstanding work by the city’s most exciting artists, from recent graduates to practitioners with years of experience.
Offering free admission and programs, the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery serves as a welcoming space for everyone, regardless of their income level, personal history, ethnicity, sexual orientation, immigration status, religion or gender identity.
