Volunteer
If you have an appreciation for art and history and enjoy meeting new people, volunteering at the Cryrus E. Dallin Art Museum is a rewarding way to pursue your interests and provide a valuable public service.
Volunteers are crucial to our daily operations and help on a weekly, monthly or as-needed basis. Depending on your availability, you can volunteer as a docent, through internships or for
special events.
However you choose to help, you’ll enjoy working with the diverse and talented people that make our museum a vital part of the Arlington community. To learn more about volunteering at the Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum, email info@dallin.org or call 781-641-0747.
Docents
Docents play a core role by staffing the museum during visiting hours, noon to 4 pm Thursday through Sunday, and assisting with special projects and events. We can’t operate without them.
Being a docent requires a modest commitment of at least 4 hours per month. No prior knowledge of art or history is required. We provide training to help you become familiar with the permanent collection, lead tours and knowledgably answer questions about Dallin and his art. High school students can earn service credits by volunteering at the museum.
Internships
The Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum offers flexible internships to college undergraduates and graduate students. Our museum staff works with students to design an internship that meets each individual’s professional and academic goals. Internships are unpaid but may be completed for course credit.
Special Events and Projects
To art and history enthusiasts that prefer helping on a project-by-project basis, the Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum offers a variety of volunteer opportunities. Working on educational programs, the annual Art on the Green fundraiser, and research projects are just a few examples.
