Art Exhibit Docent Volunteer!
The WaterFire Arts Center (WFAC) is always looking for friendly, outgoing people with excellent communication skills and an ability and desire to work with diverse visitors. All docents receive a training session by staff, so an art background is not necessary.
Roles and Responsibilities
Docents also play an integral role in assisting with security and the preservation of all artwork in the space by reminding visitors not to touch pieces or making sure no pieces leave the space. The store staff and EDS (if there is an event) are available to you at any point if you aren’t sure what to do or if you have any questions.
Benefits of Becoming a Docent
Docents participate in satisfying experiences working with all visitors from children, college students, and community members while they expand their understanding of art and are challenged by new ideas.

- Wednesday: 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
- Thursday: 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. (- 9 p.m. during art exhibit)

Description
WaterFire Providence Brings Art to the Community, by the Community
WaterFire Providence is known for the lightings that take place downtown with local artists and food vendors. We hope to get back to lightings downtown later this year but for now our main focus is the WaterFire Arts Center (WFAC)! Since the pandemic WaterFire continued to create art for the community, by the community at the WFAC.
WaterFire Providence Volunteers are an integral part of every event we host. They assist in all aspects of event production, special projects, and anything else we dream up.
Volunteers build, perform, inspire, engage, and enjoy! WaterFire volunteers come from all walks of life, and we appreciate the diversity and talents that are among them. Over the years, a network of volunteers has been established, and we are delighted at the community that they have become.
