ADVANCING AMERICAN INDIAN ART
As the volunteer arm of the Museum, Guild members support a wide range of activities that enrich the vibrancy of the museum and enhance its well-deserved reputation as a leading arts institution. As a member of the Guild, you can choose from a vast array of interests that capture your skills, talents, and imagination and involve as much or as little time as you wish to devote. Weekday, evening, and weekend opportunities are available to meet your needs for flexible scheduling and to accommodate both ongoing assignments and intermittent help with special events and projects.
In addition to supporting the work of the Heard Museum, our members take advantage of a robust calendar of events including speakers, museum activities, and travel to learn more about American Indian culture, art, history, and current issues facing Native communities. As an added bonus, many members find deep and enduring friendships within the Guild membership and staff of the Museum.
The volunteer opportunities available to Guild members are many and varied. Collectively, Guild members provide more than 50,000 hours of volunteer service each year. Members of the Heard Museum are eligible to join the Guild. Membership in the Heard Museum is a prerequisite for Guild Membership.

Within the Guild there are two levels of membership:
Becoming the chair of a committee or assuming responsibility for an activity or event moves one to a higher level of involvement. Those interested in becoming even more involved can enroll in a seven month training program to become a docent. Finally, one can take on a leadership role by becoming an officer or member of the Guild’s Board of Directors.
The members of the Guild participate in the development of the Museum and its facilities and services, and in the growth of the Museum as a vital cultural and educational institution in the Southwest. Donate to the Heard Museum Guild General Fund.
