You can book a free guided tour in a language of your choice for a small group tailored to their interests and level of art knowledge. A minimum of four weeks’ notice is required for these bookings.
On the third Saturday of each month, at 2pm, we are offering AGWA's Collection Highlights tour in a language other than English. Visit this page for more information and to see what language tours are coming up.

Adjunct Guides Expression of Interest
The VGG Adjunct Guiding Program is an 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 Perth’s most 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. Submissions for 2025 are now open.
