For those of us who work or study at Johnson County Community College, we do not have to look far for amazing art and amazing volunteer opportunities. In our own backyard (or really our front yard); the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art has one of the top internationally acclaimed collections of emerging and established artists today. Public Art Review magazine named JCCC as one of the top 10 university/college campuses for public art in America, citing the sculptures, paintings, ceramics, photography and works on paper installed throughout the campus. The museum presents many of the region’s most important exhibitions of leading-edge contemporary art, as well as dynamic and diverse educational programming.
And with that educational programming comes opportunities for volunteering. The Nerman is always looking for help at the front desk, with tours, and with their children’s art classes.
If you are interested in interacting with the community via art, the Nerman is a great place to go. Click here to read more about their volunteer positions. I would recommend reaching out to Katherine Morse first before filling out the application. She can answer any questions you may have and inform you about their current needs.
Happy Volunteering!
