Opportunities

Docent Program and Education

A docent is a museum tour guide! Holter docents work with all age groups and lead guided tours of exhibitions. 

Other volunteer opportunities in our education program include helping with classes and workshops and organizing supplies.

Exhibitions and Collection

The Holter installs and de-installs several exhibitions throughout the year. Exhibition tasks often include painting, patching, hanging, and moving artwork.

Our permanent collection also has volunteer opportunities, such as data entry and packing/moving collection artwork.

Front Desk and Events

Volunteers at the front desk engage with guests and operate the gift shop. Event volunteers bartend (when server certified), manage the desk, and assist with event setup and cleanup.
