Volunteer opportunities

The Museum’s volunteers are a vital part of the team; they help to keep the Milwaukee Art Museum running smoothly 363 days a year. Milwaukee Art Museum volunteers greet Museum visitors at entrances, offer navigational assistance in the Museum, distribute audio guides and general information, and assist with Museum Store customer service. After a brief introduction/training session, volunteers are asked to attend quarterly training classes and work a minimum of 6 hours a month from Monday through Sunday. Museum membership is required to apply for a volunteer position. For more information on Museum volunteer opportunities, please contact Rebecca Rohan at 414-224-3845 or rebecca.rohan@mam.org.

Friends of Art volunteers assist with a variety of fundraising events such as the Lakefront Festival of Arts, Grape Lakes Food and Wine Festival, Bal du Lac, and more. Opportunities range from various committee responsibilities for event organizing to participating in day-of event activities. For more information, please contact Sandi Anderson at 414-224-3253 or sandi.anderson@mam.org.

Our highly trained docents are specialists in tours, and provide an in-depth look at the Museum’s Collection. Docents give guided tours to school and adult groups. A yearlong training session begins in the fall; training sessions are held on Mondays. Docents are expected to give tours one day a week during the school year.
