A docent is a trained museum guide. The KAC has a variety of tours that require docents, including gallery tours, outdoor sculpture walking tours, and special event tours. Docents must be knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and comfortable working with diverse groups of children and adults. The KAC education department provides weekly 1 hour training sessions that cover art history, cultural sensitivity, public speaking, and teaching strategies. Occasional field trips and artist lectures are also included in the training.
Training sessions are held on Wednesday afternoons from 12-1 pm. Tours are typically scheduled between 9 am and 5 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. There are occasional weekend and evening time commitments.
Most museum docent programs are led by volunteers with a passion for teaching and learning about art. Docents benefit from a free and intensive education in the arts and the opportunity to share that education with others. In addition, volunteer docents enjoy KAC membership, invitations to special events, and one free KAC class per session.
