Volunteering and Work Experience

We are dedicated to providing equitable access to opportunities within Devonshire Collective’s programming. This includes prioritising paid roles and remunerated opportunities over unpaid engagements, ensuring all artists, regardless of background, can engage meaningfully with our work.

While we occasionally work with volunteers for specific roles, we understand that volunteering is not accessible to all. We aim to offer paid positions where possible and focus on providing professional development and meaningful work experiences.

Volunteers are not placed in roles that are essential to our core operations, ensuring they do not replace paid opportunities.

There’s always something going on that you can enjoy. There was an event that I went with my family and it was fun.

Lovely little exhibition, my daughter really enjoyed doing the art. Gina is a great teacher and has a vast knowledge with great skills. The children love her.
