Opportunities
There are occasionally opportunities to volunteer in the Museum. Volunteers gain behind-the-scenes experience in museum work, a chance to network with other art lovers and professionals, and the benefit of time spent in this beautiful environment.
If you're interested in volunteering at the Museum, please contact us at museum@westmont.edu
For information on employment opportunities please see the Human Resources page.
One of the best ways to introduce your artwork to us and to be exhibited in the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art is to enter our annual juried exhibition. Each year the artists that are juried into the exhibition range from seasoned professionals to emerging young artists.
Submissions to the juried exhibition are accepted digitally in March and April. For guidelines and more information, please refer to the season calendar.
