Medina Triennial seeking engagement guides for upcoming 3-month arts initiative

MEDINA – A three-month major arts initiative, featuring 35 artists from around the world in Medina, needs “engagement guides” to welcome people to the arts attractions.

The Medina Triennial will run from June 6 to Sept. 7. The project has received funding from the New York Power Authority and other sponsors. The Triennial is expected to bring about 50,000 people to Medina over the three months.

The Triennial is hiring 10 engagement guides who will work Thursdays through Sundays and will be paid $19 an hour.

“In this role, Engagement Guides foster positive, meaningful relationships between the Village of Medina and the artists, artworks, ideas, and visitors that make up the Medina Triennial 2026,” the Triennial stated in a job posting.

The guides will receive thorough training and will be working in a dynamic, community-centered environment.

The guides will welcome village residents, community partners and all visitors to the Triennial. They will need to be familiar with the artists, artworks, exhibition sites, and Village of Medina attractions in order to help visitors connect to programs that match their interests, the Triennial stated.
