  • Volunteering

Volunteers are an important and highly valued part of Bendigo Art Gallery’s day-to-day operation. There are different ways you can get involved.

If you have more time and are interested helping on a longer-term basis you could consider joining the voluntary guides and Friends of Bendigo Art Gallery.

The Friends of Bendigo Art Gallery

The Friends of Bendigo Art Gallery provides support to the Gallery by assisting staff with activities such as large mail-outs and helping at some after-hours events. 

The Friends presents the very popular Art & Tea public program. At Art & Tea events presenters speak on topics that relate to our temporary exhibitions and the permanent collection.

The Friends also organise events that raise funds for the Gallery and the broader community.

Please contact us for information on joining the Friends, or to know more about the Friends' events program.

The content and duration of any internship must be negotiated between the Gallery and the relevant higher education institution.

Please contact us to find out more about internships.

Work experience

Each year Bendigo Art Gallery makes a few placements available for secondary school students undertaking structured workplace learning or work experience. These placements fill quickly and it is advisable to contact the Gallery early.
