Museum of Contemporary Art volunteers give generously of their time
and talent and greatly assist MOCA in our mission of providing unique art
programming and experiences to the community.
Because of the attention that our exhibitions and events receive, we are routinely
in need of volunteers. Volunteering at MOCA is an ideal way to surround yourself with
fantastic art and meet interesting people while assisting a popular arts institution.

Visitor Liaison
Are you interested in meeting new people and spending time surrounded by world class art?
The Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland (MOCA) is seeking friendly, outgoing volunteers to
serve as Visitor Liaisons. The principle duty of the Visitor Liaison is to ensure the safety
of works of art and guests at MOCA while positively representing MOCA to the general public.
Volunteers will invite visitors to explore the current exhibitions and have the opportunity
to assist with special events.
Volunteers will attend an orientation session to familiarize them with the current exhibitions
and general museum information. Training will include departmental policies, facility access
and emergency procedures.
The hours for fall are Tues, Thurs-Sunday 11-5 and Wednesdays 11-8PM. You must be able to work
a regularly scheduled shift, at least one day per week.
Front Desk Attendants
Front desk attendants are a MOCA visitor's first impression of the museum.
From accepting admission fees to answering questions, the way visitors are
greeted creates the foundation for their experience. An attendant's ability to
interact with people in a friendly way is the key to a positive museum experience
for the visitor. If you have daytime availability and an outgoing personality we
would like to hear from you. Front desk attendants commit to regularly scheduled
4-hour daytime shifts. Evening and weekend special event shifts are also available.
Museum Store Volunteer
ArtSpace, the hippest museum store in town, is the place for upbeat people
with outstanding customer service skills. ArtSpace volunteers provide many services
including the selection and purchase of merchandise, maintaining the neat appearance
of the store, pricing and restocking shelves. You must be dependable, trustworthy
and tactful under pressure. ArtSpace volunteers commit to regularly scheduled 4-hour
daytime shifts. Evening and weekend special event shifts are also available.
Docents
Docents are volunteer educators who train to tour each exhibition
at MOCA and in many cases meet the artists whose work is on view.
If you love sharing your enthusiasm for and expertise on contemporary
art and have daytime availability, find out more about
becoming
a docent.
Office Volunteers
Attention to detail and a cheerful personality are the requirements for clerical
volunteers. Your help is needed for filing, mailings, and many special
behind-the-scenes projects. We request your availability to work a minimum 2-hour
shift 1-2 days per week during regular office hours.
Special Event Volunteers
Due to overwhelming response, we are not currently accepting special event volunteer
applicants. We appreciate your interest and encourage you to check back periodically.
Benefits
In appreciation of their time and energy, MOCA volunteers receive
FREE membership to MOCA Cleveland, entitling them to free parking,
free admission to the galleries, invitations to all openings and special
events, the seasonal newsletter and other program announcements as well
as a 10% discount to ARTspace.
