Volunteer or Intern
With year-round programming, special events, and large-scale art installations, Oregon Contemporary relies on our volunteer base to help make it all happen. Volunteers work alongside staff members at events and installations. Interns gain experience across many facets of the organization and work alongside Oregon Contemporary staff members, artists, and curators who act as valuable mentors. Interns may assist with exhibitions, installations, marketing and website, research, events, and more.
