The role of an AGWA Volunteer
As an AGWA volunteer you’ll be involved in many activities that allow us to share our love of art with others. These include greeting our visitors, informing people about exhibitions and activities in the Gallery, and assisting with our diverse range of public programs and events.
Volunteer Roles
AGWA Ambassadors offer a welcome environment by greeting and providing information to our visitors. Their passionate support allows us to bring the Gallery to life.
Are you passionate about Perth arts and culture? Be a part of this extraordinary showcase when it comes to AGWA's Centenary Galleries for one season.
Help with and promote AGWA’s exciting calendar of public programs and events. This role is particularly suited to those seeking volunteering experience outside of regular business hours.
Are you an energetic art lover with a passion for creative learning? Suits those with a strong interest in gaining hands-on experience in arts and education.
Get to know our visitors by conducting surveys and engaging with community feedback.
To be an AGWA Volunteer you must:
- Be enthusiastic about arts and culture in Perth and abroad
- Be comfortable working independently and as a team
- Be able to share your knowledge about AGWA’s diverse exhibitions and program

Pulse Youth Advisory Panel
If you're aged 15-21 years and want to contribute to AGWA's programs for young people, then submit an application to become a Pulse Youth Advisory Panel member. As a panel member, you will meet once per month to actively contribute to ideas, program and events for AGWA Pulse, the year-long program of events for young people.
The panel is open to all Western Australian people aged 15 to 21 years of age who are interested in volunteering and keen to make a difference in the arts. AGWA aims to include young people from culturally diverse backgrounds, LGBTIQ+ communities, and those with specific access needs. We hope your time on the panel will give you the opportunity to actively contribute to the Gallery's program, advocate for youth issues and programs, and develop your arts and leadership skills.
Applications for 2023 membership are now closed.
