The Davison Art Center is looking for volunteer docents for their school tours program. Every fall, docents introduce Middletown fourth graders to exhibitions on campus galleries (The DAC, Zilkha Gallery and Mansfield Freemen Center) and a workshop on the Javanese Gamelan. It’s a great opportunity to build professional skills by leading tours, performing exhibition research, creating lesson plans and meeting the curators. The DAC has a history of over 40 years of engaging with Middletown’s students and we couldn’t do it without the tremendous support of our volunteers!
Tours runs the dates of October 7-9, 14-16, and 22-23 from 9:15am-12:30pm. All docents will be required to commit to one (or more) shifts.
