Interested in becoming 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 2024. Please send a CV, together with a covering letter outlining why you believe you should be considered for the AGWA Guide traineeship to agwavgg@gmail.com

To find out what it takes to be a Voluntary Gallery Guide please read our AGWA Gallery Guide information.

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 2023 have closed.
