Toledo Museum of Art
seeks new Docents
The Toledo
Museum of Art will soon be recruiting and training for its
next class of art Docents. Interviews will be held during
spring 2012, and training will begin in the fall.
Docents are trained
Museum volunteers who interact with visitors by providing tours
and other
collection-focused
activities and information. While these “gallery teachers” come
from a wide range of backgrounds and professions, all have
strong interpersonal skills and enjoy working with the public.
TMA’s active Docent
program is more than 60 years old and has been a model of other
programs across the country. The Museum is interested in
recruiting a diverse class of participants, so men and women,
working professionals and retirees, and people of color are
encouraged to apply.
To learn more,
attend one of two free information sessions held in the Museum’s
Little Theater:
Thursday, Jan. 19,
2012, from noon to 1:30 p.m., or Friday, Jan. 20 from 6:30–8
p.m. Additional information can be found at toledomuseum.org/about/jobs-volunteer/docents.
