Volunteering in the arts
There is a strong tradition of volunteer involvement in the arts - from people working as a gallery sitter at an exhibition for a friend, through to high level policy advice to the board of an arts organisation. This in-kind support gives significant assistance to artists and arts organisations to achieve their goals, and allows them to advance their projects.
If you are a business professional, the Australia Business Arts Foundation coordinates a business volunteering program that matches professionals with arts companies. You can find out more about this program, and the benefits it offers to both the volunteer and the company here: Australia Business Arts
