Docent Program
VisArts Docents assist the Exhibition Department by giving tours to guests, and volunteering as gallery educators, creating and assisting with exhibition related programs. VisArts Docents are considered VisArts Ambassadors.
Ambassadors are all ages, and consist of volunteers, interns, and docents.
Ambassadors represent VisArts and share art with the community. Whether guiding a group program, or behind-the-scenes as a planner for an exhibition, you can make a positive difference while being part of a team.
Ambassadors lend a creative hand, from assisting with exhibition installation to researching new ideas. It is an opportunity to stimulate your creative side.
Ambassadors learn by doing. Being a part of the VisArts team, you gain insights into how an art center operates, while working with staff, artists, and outside experts.
