Event Support
Volunteers serve during exhibition openings and other special evenings by assisting at the check-in and membership tables and serving as hosts in the galleries. Volunteers occasionally help arrange and serve food and beverages at Museum special events. Meetings are held prior to an event, and the weekly time commitment varies by event.
