Remuda
The Museum of Western Art is a non-profit organization
which depends heavily on volunteers. The volunteer group
is known as the Remuda.
This group was organized in 1985 with a board of
managers who serve from one to two years. On-going work
includes greeting visitors at the admissions desk,
library work, selling items in the Museum store and
visitor assistance in the art galleries. Volunteers work
4 hour shifts -- 9 to 1 and 1 to 5, Tuesday through
Saturday. Many work only 4 hours per week, while others
work in more than one area. Exceptional work and extra
hours are rewarded in special ways at the annual
Christmas party. The annual fee for joining the museum
is $35, but after completing 100 hours and continuing to
complete your 100 hours each year, this fee is waived.
Whenever possible, volunteers are assigned to their
favorite area. However, a “second choice” is most
helpful to Museum operation and to the new volunteer. It
is possible to change jobs as experience grows and you
want to learn new skills. Come join us.
