MOCA GA Needs Volunteers
The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia (MOCA GA)
needs volunteers to man the registration
desk and greet visitors. We need
volunteers to sign up for 2 or 4 or 8-hour shifts Tuesdays through Saturdays
whenever the Museum is open to the public.
Volunteers
are needed to greet visitors, direct them to the various exhibitions, answer
simple questions about the exhibitions, hand out literature, encourage visitors
to become members and participate in upcoming events, etc. In addition, volunteers
will answer the
phone, handle general inquiries about directions, exhibitions, opening dates
and times, etc. and forward calls to staff members.
MOCA GAwill provide a brief training course and
provide a volunteer handbook with all the information needed to do the
job.
From
time to time, volunteers will be asked to help with mailings or other general
museum tasks. There will, however, be
periods of time when things are very quiet, so volunteers are encouraged to
bring personal reading material and/or tasks to fill their time at the
reception desk.
Volunteers
who help with the registration desk will be given the first opportunity to
participate as special event volunteers, helping with our signature events such
as MOCA GALA Art Auction, our largest fundraiser in the spring; Off-the-Wall
Pin Up Show + Sale in the late fall; Art for Everyone, an off-site event in the
early fall and other workshops and openings. In addition, after completing only
64 volunteer hours, volunteers will
be given $100 Friend level memberships.
If
you are interested in becoming a MOCA GA volunteer, please email MOCA GA

of Art, Washington, D.C.; The Romare Bearden Foundation, NY; and Santa
Monica Art Museum, CA, to name a few.
To be eligible, applicants must be female students who are third or
fourth year undergraduates, recent graduates contemplating a graduate
education, or graduate students seeking career opportunities in the
visual arts professions. ArtTable is dedicated to supporting women
leaders in the visual arts at all stages of their careers and to
assuring a racially, ethnically, geographically and age diverse art
community. We are particularly seeking applicants that are
underrepresented in the field. A blank application is attached for
