Want to be a Gallery Guide?
There are over 60 active Voluntary Gallery Guides. Each new Guide is trained for a year before taking visitors on guided tours.
The next training course for Gallery Guides will be held in 2022. The closing date for applications is Friday 10 December 2021. Please send a CV, together with a covering letter outlining why you believe you should be considered for the AGWA Guide traineeship to volunteers@artgallery.wa.gov.au

Adjunct Guides Expression of Interest
The Adjunct Guiding Program is a relatively new initiative which offers an alternative pathway for those unable to commit to the full requirements of a Volunteer Gallery Guide. As an Adjunct Guide you will have the opportunity to share tours in select exhibitions under the guidance of a mentor guide, develop your skills in public speaking and work within one of Western Australia’s most inspiring and pre-eminent art spaces.
Adjuncts Guides will receive ongoing training in guiding techniques, have access to research facilities and benefit from the experience of working with a fully-trained mentor guide. Adjuncts will be required to share approximately 7 tours per year and commitment will be kept to a manageable level.
A limited number of places will be available for the next training intake which is scheduled for early 2022. If you would like to be considered to join the AGWA Voluntary Gallery Guides as an Adjunct Guide, and are over the age of 18, please send your expression of interest to agwavgg@gmail.com
