About the Volunteer Program

Contemporary Calgary’s Volunteer Program brings together a vibrant community of over 100 individuals across three key areas: Exhibition Volunteers, Education Volunteers, and Event Volunteers. Our program is thoughtfully designed to provide meaningful opportunities for engagement, learning, and connection, while directly supporting the arts in Calgary. Volunteers are celebrated year-round through appreciation events, exclusive artist-led exhibition tours, and other special opportunities. We foster a welcoming, inclusive environment where volunteers can connect with peers, build relationships with local artists and creatives, and immerse themselves in Calgary’s dynamic contemporary art scene. We invite you to explore our current and upcoming roles:
