Volunteers

Volunteers give thousands of hours each year to the Art Gallery of Ballarat. They give their time freely and share their skills generously.

They undertake individual projects and they add depth to the visitor's experience of the Art Gallery of Ballarat. If you would like to participate in one of the existing volunteer programs or you would like to offer a your time and skills for a specific project, contact the gallery.

Gallery Guides

The Gallery Guides are a highly trained and dedicated group whose tours of the Gallery give a special insight into the collection. This service is provided free of charge for visitors at 2pm each day and for organised groups who have booked in advance. The Gallery Guides also organise weekly free public lectures, The Wednesday Lunchtime Talks.

Gallery Librarians

Over many years, the Gallery has built an outstanding reference collection, particularly of books and other publications about Australian art and artists. A small team of voluntary librarians keep this valuable resource in order.

Special Skills & Projects

Volunteers with specialist skills and knowledge are involved in many areas of the Gallery. Sometimes volunteer skills are matched to an existing task. At other times, volunteers come to the Gallery with a suggested project.
