VCAM is a nonprofit corporation founded in 1952 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and run by art museum volunteers for mutual education through communication.
Thousands of volunteers serve art museums in Canada, the United States, and around the world in many capacities. VCAM is the only association organized solely for art museum volunteer organizations.
VCAM is an internationally recognized resource for innovative ideas in producing a revenue stream and information exchange on recruiting and retaining volunteers, community outreach programs, youth involvement, and adapting to the needs of today’s society. This helps volunteers to maximize their contributions of time and expertise to their museums.
Museums of all sizes, including those of university campuses, in large cities, in small towns, in historic settings, and those specializing in different cultures enjoy the VCAM commitment to serve their constituencies.
Membership is open to volunteer organizations of art museums in Canada, the United States and other countries.
Membership is held by the volunteer committee representing the art museum. If there is more than one volunteer organization at a museum, each organization may become a member.
