Volunteers Wanted: LOOK26 Exhibition
Contemporary Calgary
Deadline to express interest: March 20, 2026
LOOK26 Gala: Off The Path, presented by MAWER, returns on May 2, 2026 for an unforgettable night of revelry. Brought to life by the talented minds of local artist duo DaveandJenn, Off The Path draws on their richly layered practice spanning painting, sculpture and moving image. Their work creates whimsical worlds filled with delight, enchantment and untamed life.
Exhibition Volunteers
In the weeks leading up to LOOK26 Gala: Off The Path, the Art Auction exhibition will be on view, giving guests and potential bidders the opportunity to experience the works in person ahead of the live auction. By supporting the LOOK Art Auction exhibition, you will be directly contributing to the success of our annual fundraiser.
What will your role involve?
Exhibition volunteers will engage guests in conversation about the auction artworks, share insights about the exhibition and help visitors navigate our online auction platform (Givergy). We are seeking a dedicated team of volunteers who are passionate about contemporary art, excited about fundraising, and enjoy creating welcoming, engaging experiences for gallery visitors.
What are the requirements?
Exhibition volunteers will commit to at least one shift per week during the LOOK Art Auction exhibition opening in April. Shifts follow our standard exhibition schedule: Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 12 noon – 7 pm, and Sundays from 12 noon – 5 pm. In addition to these shifts, volunteers have the opportunity to support the exhibition during the gala event on May 2 from 5 pm – midnight.
