Volunteer Program
Become a part of art changing lives.
Each year, hundreds of Frist Center volunteers from across the Nashville area inspire people to look at their world in new ways. Not only is the Frist Center’s volunteer program a great way to support the arts in our community, but it’s the perfect way to meet interesting people just like you.

“When I heard the Frist Center was opening, I wanted to become a volunteer because artwork on display in a priceless, revered building was exactly what Nashville needed. How lucky we are that the Nashville community saw the need and put it all together.”
Ann G. Doyle
Frist Center Volunteer since 2000
Since before we opened our doors in 2001, volunteers from throughout the Nashville community have been in an important part of helping us to fulfill the Frist Center’s mission and vision.
In 2010, nearly 400 volunteers provided more than 26,000 hours of service to the Frist Center. Docents led more than 15,000 visitors on tours, visitor services volunteers welcomed nearly 300,000 visitors into our exhibition galleries, and ArtQuest volunteers assisted nearly 116,000 children and families in the Martin ArtQuest Gallery. And that’s not all – from promoting membership to assisting with sales in the gift shop, from evaluation to office assistance, volunteers can be found throughout the Frist Center every single day.
