Volunteer Opportunities
Painting the town since 1987! The AGGV is currently seeking volunteers for the TD Art Gallery Paint In as it returns to Moss Street for the first time since 2019. The 33rd Annual event takes place on July 16 from 11am to 4pm and it would not be possible to hold the event without the scores of volunteers who make Vancouver Island’s largest art event of the year a huge success. We are so pleased to welcome you back! Click the button below to learn more.
If you’re seeking a front and center experience at the AGGV – look no further! You’re the first person a visitor sees and so you set the tone of a guest’s experience. You’re as practical on the administrative side as you are affable on the personality side. You’re a multitasking champion and you can also speak to our exhibitions and programs with confidence. You’re articulate and approachable, and you have some customer service experience. Selling memberships to the Gallery comes naturally to you because you know how awesome they are. Your passion for people compliments your passion for the arts and culture sector. If any of this has you pegged, please apply to work on the front lines with our vibrant Visitor Services team! Gain valuable work experience as a weekly volunteer while sharpening up your resume. After this dynamic and well-rounded experience, any cultural institution would be lucky to hire you.
Please email volunteer@aggv.ca to inquire about upcoming volunteer orientations and how to get involved.
Looking for a reason to visit the AGGV once a week? You’re a social butterfly with a passion for the arts and supporting a cultural institution is important to you. Perhaps you’ve recently graduated and are looking to build on your sales experience or you’re new to Victoria and want to meet a great network of people. Maybe you’ve recently retired and are seeking a totally different experience? Either way, you’ve mastered the art of conversation. Enhancing a visitor’s experience inspires you because customer service is your jam! If a pleasant and social environment full of warm smiles appeals to you (and you’re punctual and reliable), our friendly Gallery Enterprises team welcomes you to apply. The Gallery Shop’s important role of raising revenue to support the AGGV is also key to the daily operations of the institution. Although this rewarding position is a minor time commitment, you’d still be a major player in our community. Who knows where this could lead?
Please email volunteer@aggv.ca to inquire about upcoming volunteer orientations and how to get involved.
