Gallery volunteers are our first contact with visitors, and they greet visitors, answer basic questions, process gift shop sales, and occasionally do administrative projects. They are welcome to bring books, phones, crafts, etc., to entertain themselves, and refreshments are OK, too. We are open daily (except Mondays), and we have two shifts that volunteers sign up for: 11:30AM -2:30 PM, 2:30-5 PM. Often times volunteers chat with visitors, artists, and learn more about the Davis community. We do a short training, and staff are always available to help.
Volunteers are a huge part of serving the community, and help the Pence in so many ways! We do have a free parking pass if the volunteer if driving.
