 GET INVOLVED VOLUNTEER

If you are interested in learning more, why not join the ES/FA family by volunteering? It’s a wonderful chance to become an art aficionado, meet new and interesting friends, and experience the excitement of being part of developing one of the great art institutions in the United States.

The ES/FA's Volunteer Committee is a group of individuals who donate their time to provide a great experience for our community, and to extend the ES/FA's presence.

Volunteers talk about the ES/FA's outstanding collection to school children, assist in the planning special events, serve as community ambassadors, staff the information desks,  lecture to adult groups in the community and help the foundations staff do everything from stuffing envelopes to cataloging photographs.

You can belong to more than one service committee and will receive training for your specific duties. Each of the committees has different requirements, but the "basics" apply to everyone: ES/FA membership, a desire to work in an art environment, and enthusiasm!

Joining our volunteer family is simple. Begin by reviewing the committee descriptions and requirements by clicking on the links below. Then use the online form to indicate the committees that appeal to you. After processing your information, we will send you an invitation to an orientation session.
