MoCA is currently looking for volunteer docents! Learn about our exhibitions & programs, and share your knowledge with our visitors. Docents are essential to the museum experience — bringing insights, information and knowledge about our shows to the community. Please contact Liz Leggett, Director of Exhibitions, at liz@mocawestport.org for additional information about this specific opportunity.

  • Volunteers provide hospitality, greet patrons, set up and clean up at art gallery openings.
  • Volunteers assist with art installations, including hanging artwork, preparing the gallery, researching artists and entering data.
  • Volunteers help with MOCA Westport mailings, administrative tasks, filing, data entry, phone calls and monthly poster distribution.
  • Volunteers help with communications and publicity, writing press materials and newsletter items, taking photographs at events, and putting together media kits and other publicity materials.
Benefits of Volunteering
