The Heard Museum Guild is the volunteer arm of the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona. With more than 400 members, the guild supports a wide range of activities that enrich the vibrancy of the museum and enhance its well-deserved reputation as a leading arts institution. Guild members choose from a vast array of volunteer opportunities that capture members’ skills, talents, and imagination.

Guild members also learn about Native American cultures, art, histories, and current issues through speaker programs, monthly guild meetings, biweekly newsletter communications, Heard Museum events, and more. Many members find deep and enduring friendships within the guild’s membership, artists, and museum staff.
