Geelong Gallery Guiding

Voluntary Guides host tours for visitors, groups, youth public programs and Art+Memory programs for people with early to mid-stages of dementia.

The Gallery requires dedicated, well-informed voluntary Guides who enjoy interacting with the public and promoting the role of the Gallery and its Collection within our community.

Guides are selected by interview and the Gallery recruits yearly.

Background in the Arts, history or education is encouraged, but not a pre-requisite. Trainee guides undertake a 12 month training program, supported by an experienced guide mentor.

In addition to guided tours, Guides are encouraged to participate in specialised programs including; Art+Memory tours, outreach programs, Learn tours and youth public programs, and guide mentoring.

Emeritus guides, only open to guides with a minimum of 5 years of service, may wish to limit their guiding to major exhibitions and providing other support such as pre-arranged talks to social groups and interest groups.

Guides need to be available for meetings on the last Monday of each month and on Sundays for rostered guided tours. General availability throughout the week is also expected to fulfil guided tour requests as required.
