Volunteer Guild

The Guild is the largest volunteer corps of the Pearl and actively participates in the daily running of the museum, the funding for museum programs and the promotion and outreach of the museum within the community at large.

All Guild members volunteer a minimum of 15 hours per year, which can be in any capacity of service that benefits the museum (any of the Guild committees, Exhibit Openings or Pearlformancesupport, acting as a Docent, etc.).

Day Trips

Our next Day Trip is scheduled for March 28, 2025 to the Watercolor Art Society to see the International Watermedia Exhibition. 

For almost 50 years, WAS-H has brought the excitement of watermedia to the greater Houston area with outstanding exhibits, world-class instruction and dedicated community outreach. Come and view the International Watermedia Exhibition, one of two juried exhibitions held annually. The paintings are selected by a renowned juror and judge. Lunch at Gracie’s. Plants at Houston Garden Center.

Note: Participants must be 50 years of age to ride the bus. The driver cannot provide individual assistance to passengers. Passengers traveling in wheelchairs, walkers, or with any other special needs must have a caretaker or volunteer throughout the trip. Helpers are exempt from age and fee requirements.
