Noosa Regional Gallery would not be able to offer the range of exhibitions, public programs and other services it delivers without the assistance of our highly valued volunteers. Our volunteers are an integral part of our team.

Becoming a gallery volunteer can provide wonderful opportunities to contribute to the cultural activities in the Noosa and wider Sunshine Coast region. Volunteers assist gallery staff with the delivery of a diverse program of events and workshops as well as in the gallery shop. There is a supportive collegiate culture amongst our volunteers and friendships are often formed. Volunteers are highly valued by gallery staff as a number of programs and services could not be delivered without their assistance.

Volunteering provides people with the chance to enhance and continue their skills development, interact with people of all ages and interests, and experience art.
