A Tyler Museum of Art docent educates visitors on the TMA exhibitions. There are several different options for serving. A docent can select once-a week frame for helping with the Tyler Independent School District's second and fifth grade classes, or can choose to help only with special touring groups, from preschool-age children to adults. Docents also have the opportunity to help out at TMA Family Days. These exciting events occur at least four times a year and include Museum tours, hand-on activities, and artist demonstrations. Docents are fully trained by guest speakers and staff on the upcoming exhibitions, the history of art, and touring strategies. Training consists of eight classes a year, and two lectures that are given by guest speakers.
Interact with artists, art collectors and curators!
