Volunteering and Internships

Interns and volunteers serve an invaluable role at MAP, making the daily operation of a not-for-profit art center both efficient and enjoyable, and our joint efforts in making contemporary art more accessible to the community even more worthwhile.

We are sincerely grateful for the assistance our interns and volunteers, both past and present, have lent to MAP.

Become a Volunteer:

We have many opportunities for ongoing and special events volunteers—volunteer once a year or once a week!

Attend our spring and fall benefits for free when you contribute a few hours of your time on the day or night of the event. Lend a hand at our next Reception or Public Forum. Or get a little closer to the MAP family by helping out in the office more regularly—we always need an extra hand with bulk mail, filing, gallery reception, painting, and a host of other hands-on or computer tasks.
