Join our FRONT Line – Volunteer for FRONT!
The FRONT Line – volunteer opportunities for An American City
Now through September 30th, 2018
Opening in July 2018, FRONT will investigate the significance and meaning of staging a large-scale international triennial. Bringing together more than 70 local, national and international artists across mediums and disciplines, FRONT will partner with sites throughout the city of Cleveland, Akron and Oberlin to explore artistic collaborations, intellectual exchanges and curatorial dialogues.
FRONT International volunteers will contribute meaningfully to the Triennial and its visitors while gaining valuable insight into the workings of a major arts festival. Ideally, volunteers will have knowledge and interest in contemporary art, architecture and design. Volunteers should be outgoing and have the confidence to engage with visitors and answer questions.

Docent
Directly and deeply influence visitor experience during the triennial. As volunteer educators, FRONT docents will guide groups of all ages through meaningful interactions with the art on view, offering creative problem-solving opportunities and inspiring moments of wonder.
