The Bedford Gallery offers many great volunteer opportunities for people looking to get involved and meet a wonderful group of dedicated art lovers. Guild members welcome visitors at the reception desk, host receptions and other special events, produce fundraising events to support the Gallery’s programs and offer field trips and other fun events for members. Our highly trained Docents lead tours that include hands-on art projects for 2,500 school children annually, and guide visits for adult groups. The Bedford provides Docents with professional training in art history and teaching techniques. Docents enjoy field trips to local museums and galleries and opportunities to participate in study groups about art. With over 160 volunteers, the Bedford volunteers are an integral part of the gallery’s educational and exhibition programming.
Admission is free and open to anyone 18 and over interested in becoming a Docent, Guild member, or short term volunteer or intern.
