BECOME AN AMBASSADOR

Cascadia Art Museum Ambassadors are volunteers that dedicate time to conduct tours and help visitors understand artwork in the museum. They receive training in teaching skills, Northwest Art history and Cascadia Art Museum’s exhibitions.

Our Ambassadors represent a diverse range of life experiences. A formal art background is not necessary; we welcome applications from those who possess a genuine enthusiasm for art and a willingness to share that passion with others.
