Art Resource Center suggestion

Dear Docents:

At the Art Resource Center volunteer meeting last night, the ARC volunteers made the excellent suggestion that as part of your general museum tours you bring the group into the ARC whenever possible (vs. just pointing it out from the education wing). ARC volunteers can give a short introduction to the resources available.

 

I think this is a good suggestion for two reasons: first, if people physically come into the ARC we count them in our ARC attendance, which goes out to funders in our grant reports. Second, and more importantly, my guess is that if people actually enter the space they are more likely to remember it and hopefully visit again.

 

I would also recommend doing the same with the Open Art Studio.

 

Given a group’s timing constraints, this won’t always be possible, but please keep it in mind.

 

Thanks

Tara
