Volunteer
The Bix Beiderbecke Museum is looking for volunteers to help with keeping the museum open and assisting with events. We are looking for people who are fans of jazz, enjoy local history, or are students interested in gaining experience in museums and non-profits. No experience or technical skills are necessary, any training needed will be provided. Some examples of projects include tabling for the museum at partnered events, being present in the exhibit for special/extended hours, assisting with the Annual Bix Festival, and providing miscellaneous support for staff at other programming.
Join our Board of Directors
The Bix Beiderbecke Museum has openings on our board for people in the Quad Cities area who are passionate about Bix, jazz, or local history and have unique skills and talents that can benefit the organization.
Please contact us at contactbixmuseum@gmail.com for more information on how to volunteer or join our board.
Internships
The Bix Beiderbecke Museum is seeking Undergraduate/Graduate-level internships, independent study, and project opportunities for those interested in work in museums and non-profit institutions. The museum will work with the student to ensure they fulfill any degree or class requirements and that they have a unique learning experience that fulfills their goals. Some examples of experience include event planning, education/program development, collection handling, non-profit administration, and online/social media development. The museum is always flexible and interested in project recommendations from prospective interns.
Interested applicants should have a background in Music, History, Art History, Museum Studies, or any related field of study to the proposed projects. We also consider applicants from backgrounds outside related fields, if there is significant interest in gaining experience in museums or non-profit institutions.
We are currently seeking interns for Summer and Fall 2024. In order to apply, send a resume and written statement on some of the things you are interested in gaining experience in or what interests you about interning at the Bix Museum to Nathaniel Kraft, Director via email at director@bixmuseum.org
