Call for Exhibition Guides Fall 2010

View Document


Our Fall 2010 Exhibition Guides training program is full.

Get a behind the scenes look at the Henry Art Gallery by participating in our exciting Exhibition Guide Program! A new class will begin Thursday, September 23, 2010.

The Henry is looking for volunteer Exhibition Guides to help us continue to bring art and people together by introducing and deepening the experience of its exhibitions for tour groups of all ages. Be part of one of the most important and far-reaching functions of the Henry. No experience or previous training is required but a background in art history, teaching, or museum docent work is helpful. What is required? An active commitment and enthusiasm for exploring contemporary art. Tours are needed during the day, evenings, and weekends; Wednesday thru Sunday. Classes will be held every other Thursday beginning on September 23 — December 2, from 12-2pm. You will learn about modern and contemporary art, exciting and effective touring techniques, and receive a full introduction to the Henry’s collections and special exhibitions. The course is taught by Henry education staff, Henry curators and guest speakers.
