EAG VOLUNTEERS
Thank you for volunteering!
As we gear up to the next season of shows and programs for the guild, we need volunteers to help in some key areas. We ask that volunteers please commit to at least 4 hours per year in any of the following volunteer opportunities listed below.
Remember, volunteers do not have to be a guild member. This is a great opportunity to get folks from the outside community to participate and bring additional skills into our organization.

The Museum Delegate shall fill the second seat on the Elmhurst Art Museum Board (alongside the President), which is permanently assigned to the Guild.

DOCENT
The EAG docent will act as a “gallery sitter”, someone to sit at the desk in the gallery and assist visitors and talk about the Guild and the exhibit on display during normal business hours. Any time you can give is greatly appreciated and helps our art sell!
Besides these positions, WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!
We were so happy to have so many volunteers at Art in The Park. (THANK YOU ALL! ❤️)
Please consider volunteering at an opening reception with our Hospitality Chair, Don Bradley.
Come help hang a show with the Gallery Crew.
Be a docent in the gallery during the run of a show.
If everyone gave only 4 hours a year, (the mere equivalent of watching two movies) we would never need to ask for help. Inquire about these position by sending an email to me (Joe Abboreno).
