Grand Rapids Art Museum 5 Overall Experience   
What a fun and fulfilling way to learn about art

I started volunteering at the art museum by helping out once a year at Festival. It was a great chance to do projects with kids and expose them to art. Then I got into AM at GRAM which is such a cool program for youth and families, i've often learned from it myself. Over the years I've helped at various special events - which are such fun - you get to interact with great people and get a behind the scenes look at exhibitions. Now I am an occasional desk assistant which still gives me a chance to keep up on the current exhibits while interacting with the community. Fridays at GRAM are the best - I get to listen to music throughout the shift and often forget that I'm volunteering. I'd highly recommend this opportunity as a fun way to learn about the art world, and to meet amazing people - GRAM is so good to its volunteers! posted by Janelle Burden on April 29, 2005
