LACMA seeks a few decent docents
The Docent Council of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is seeking volunteers to lead tours of the museum’s permanent collection and special exhibitions.
An art background is not required; however, prospective docents should have an interest in learning about art, working with students, and facilitating positive museum experiences for visitors. In addition to giving tours, docents enjoy special opportunities including behind-the-scenes tours at LACMA, invitations to view private collections around Southern California and attend lectures given by leading scholars.
Upon completion of the interview process, new docents have the benefit of a one-year training course in art history and touring techniques.
Application information for the next docent training class can be obtained by e-mailing a request to Admissions@lacmadocent.org or by phone at (323) 857-6119. Applications are due no later than March 23, 2007.
