Join Our Volunteer Team

Calling All Art Lovers! You’re invited to be a part of our team by becoming a volunteer. Volunteering at the Arlington Museum of Art is such a meaningful way to give back to the community while promoting the visual arts.

Not only will you have the opportunity to meet and work with fellow art-lovers, but volunteering provides you an up-close view of our exhibitions. You’ll also get a front row seat to all the behind-the-scenes mechanics of acquiring, curating, installing major art exhibitions.

To thank you for volunteering your time and enthusiasm, we’ll provide you a free museum polo shirt, badge, and free admission to our exhibits for you and your household.

Become a Volunteer

Are you ready to get started or want to learn more? Or have you volunteered in the past and would like a little refresher?

Contact Catherine for information, or sign up today through our Get Connected portal.

Are you already an AMA Volunteer?

Your expertise and enthusiasm is needed to help with the museum’s grand opening in its new location in the Arlington Entertainment District. Shifts are flexible and available during the week and on weekends.

Coffee with Chris

Active AMA volunteers are invited to join us for informal get-togethers with AMA President & CEO Chris Hightower. Contact us for the next date and time of our meeting!

Volunteering is easy. And fun!

Our volunteers truly are part of our team and play a vital role in the success of our operations and positive guest experiences each day.

There’s no experience necessary to become an AMA volunteer. We’ll show you the ropes! Our volunteers greet visitors when they arrive, assist visitors with ticket purchases, and provide general information about the museum. For those who are interested in additional training, volunteers can also take guests on exhibition tours, help guests with purchases from the Gift Shop, assist with special events and functions, and help staff members with administrative duties.

Ready to start? Sign up today.

The AMA welcomes volunteers who are 16 years of age and older. Thank you for your interest!
