HISTORY
• VCAM was founded by Art Gallery of Ontario volunteers in Toronto in 11952 and was incorporated as a non-profit institution in the United States in 1976. It is the only association established solely for art museum volunteers
Purpose of VCAM

VCAM is committed to provide a forum for information exchange, mutual education and enhancement of services to its art museum volunteer committee members through international conferences, regional meetings, published comprehensive conference reports, resource files, and the VCAM News publication.
