Volunteer

The Sioux City Art Center depends on the dedication and support of our volunteers to make each visit to the Art Center both memorable and enjoyable. Primary volunteer opportunities include: Docents (tour guides), Teacher Assistants, and Education Coordinator Assistant.

Other volunteer opportunities [.pdf form] offered by the Art Center include: gallery attendants, clerical support, outreach activities, gift gallery attendants, Artsplash volunteers, and volunteer receptionists. Due to the wide variety of options, volunteers often change jobs or add new responsibilities as their personal interests grow and transform.

Docents

The Art Center’s Docent Program consists of generous individuals of all ages. They are extensively trained in specific areas of interest and are mentored until they are completely comfortable with their duties. Docents can specialize in two different areas:

GENERAL tours (includes exhibition and building tours)
General docents provide visitors with a brief history of the Art Center, and guide tours through the Art Center’s current exhibitions.

ARTWORKS tours
ARTWORKS docents offer tours to fifth-grade students of the Art Center’s exhibitions, and close with a hands-on project in one of the classrooms.
