Become a volunteer!
We want YOU to volunteer at the Carter!
We couldn’t do it without you! Every year, Carter volunteers contribute countless hours to help us bring the best of American art to visitors near and far. You can be a part of our amazing team! No art experience is necessary—just enthusiasm and a dedicated interest in the Museum and the communities we serve.
Exhibition Hosts
Exhibition Hosts at the Carter welcome visitors to our special exhibitions by introducing them to the gallery space, pointing out artwork highlights, and answering questions. We are now accepting applications for Exhibition Hosts through February 23.

The Carter is excited to present Black Photojournalism, an exhibition of over 250 photographs that explores the groundbreaking work of more than 60 photographers between 1945 and the mid-1980s. The exhibition highlights the essential role of Black photojournalists in documenting both important historical events as well as the richness of everyday life. The Carter invites you to become a volunteer Exhibition Host!
